Viewfinder information	(1) On the screen: Focusing points (2) Below the screen: Shutter speed, aperture (FEL, DEP, CAL, END), AE/FE lock, exposure level (AE exposure compensation amount, flash exposure compensation amount, manual exposure level, AEB range, red-eye reduction lamp ON indicator), flash-ready indicator, FE lock underexposure warning, high-speed sync (FP flash), Eye Control icon, flash exposure compensation icon, AF/MF in-focus indicator
Depth-of-field Preview	Depth-of-field preview button.
Exposure Control
Metering modes	TTL max. aperture metering with a 35-zone silicon photocell. (1) Evaluative metering (linked to all focusing points) (2) Partial metering (approx. 10% of viewfinder area at center) (3) Centerweighted averaging metering
Exposure Control Methods	(1) Program AE (shiftable) (2) Shutter speed-priority AE (3) Aperture-priority AE (4) Depth-of-field AE (non-shiftable) (5) Full Auto (non-shiftable) (6) Programmed Image Control modes (Portrait, Landscape, Close-up, Sports, Night Scene) (7) E-TTL program flash AE (8) A-TTL program flash AE (9) TTL program flash AE (10) Manual exposure (11) Bulb

ISO Film speed range	ISO 6-6400 (Set automatically with DX-coded film at ISO 25- 5000.)
Exposure compensation	(1) Manual exposure compensation: +/-2 stops in 1/2-stop increments. (2) AEB: +/-2 stops in 1/2-stop increments (Correct exposure, underexposure, and overexposure sequence).
AE lock	(1) Auto AE lock In One-Shot AF mode, AE lock applied when focus is achieved. (2) Manual AE lock (Enabled in all metering modes with AE lock button.)
Multiple exposures	Max. 9 multiple exposures (cancelable and resettable anytime). Cancels automatically after all multiple exposures are taken.
Camera shake warning	In the Basic Zone modes, if the shutter speed set automatically is slower than the reciprocal of the lens focal length, the shutter speed display blinks at 2 Hz.

Focusing modes	(1) One-Shot AF Autofocus stops and locks when focus is achieved. (2) AI Servo AF Focuses the moving subject continuously up to the start of exposure. When focus is achieved, the in-focus indicator does not light (blinks at 2 Hz only if AF fails) and the beeper does not sound. (3) AI Focus AF Switches automatically between One-Shot AF and AI Servo AF to suit the subject. (4) Manual focusing Enabled with the focusing ring when the lens focus mode is set to MF (or M).
