What is the specification of the shutter?

Electronically controlled vertical-run focal-plane shutter.
Speed range (Auto) 1/4000~30 sec
Speed range (Manual) 1/4000~30 sec (1/2 EV steps or 1/3 EV steps), Bulb.

What is the feature of 86,000 pixel light measuring sensor?

This sensor can measure color too and also, it can be measured in low light condition as -1EV.(with 55mm, F2.8 lens)

What is difference between Multi pattern WB and previous AWB

The previous WB had done processing on the entire screen, but the Multi-Pattern Auto WB, which divides the screen into small sections and applies the optimal white balance to each.This function resolves the color temperature differences due to differing light sources, shadow, and sunlight, and provides stable color reproduction that looks similar to the way scenes appear to the naked eyes.

How many Auto focusing point does 645Z has?

Total 27 points and 25 points of them have vertical and horizontal line sensors and it will exercise high ability of Auto focusing for every objects.

How many AF points that corresponded to F2.8 sensor?

Three AF points at center of screen have F2.8 beam line sensor. When F2.8 lens is used, it will be exercised high accurate focusing.

Can Live View function be used with 645Z?

Yes, this model is equipped with the Live View function which can be used for accurate focus checking on a magnified display (max. 16x). In addition to Contrast AF which obtains extremely accurate focusing, you can set Focus Peaking and Face Detect AF. Because effects such as Custom Image and white balance are reflected on the screen, you can expand your range of expression.

Can Shake Reduction function be used with 645D?

Not in this camera body. It can be used with corresponded lenses.

What is the specification of the viewfinder?

*Field of view: Approx: 98%.
*Magnification: Approx 0.85x (75mmF2.8 ∞)
*Diopter adjustment: approx -3.5~+2.0m-1.
*Eye relief: Approx 21mm.(From the view windows),
*Interchangeable focusing screen. (Common with 645D) There are 3 kinds of screens.
　1) The AF frame matte focusing screen DF-80(Standard)
　2) The Cross-lined matte focusing screen DG-80
　3) The Golden Mean Matte focusing screen DK-80

What is the specification of the LCD monitor?

Coupled with a 3.2 inch, approximately 1.037 million dot, large, high-definition, wide viewing angle panel, this feature makes it possible to shoot at low angles and high angles while looking at the Live View display from a more comfortable position. It also features an air gapless construction that suppresses internal reflections. Reinforced glass with AR coating is used for superb visibility, protection from scratches, durability, and is crush resistant..Brightness Color and saturation adjustable

How much is the range of angle for LCD monitor

It can moved 35°in a downward direction and 125°upward direction.

What is the new square grids display?

Two types of new square grids with a narrower vertical/horizontal line pitch(width) are now available, making it easier to capture images that you plan to merge later, and to make recording usage more efficient. Because the grid pattern is tighter than previous versions, it is easier to match the positions of the main subject image and the image for merging. It is also possible to select 16 zones, the golden ratio, and scale display. Because grid colors can be selected from transparent white or transparent black, visibility is guaranteed, as well.

What is the 180° rotating display/recording?

This feature is useful when making copies of images. Normally, when setting materials to shoot at the correct position from the photographer's point of view, the recorded image is rotated 180° as seen in the right figure. Simply rotate 180° to record the rotate information of the correct position. Because Live View and HDMI output is also rotated 180° and displayed, it is easy to operate while viewing on a computer or TV screen.

How to set the AF Fine Adjustment?

You can set AF Fine Adjustment as the procedures below.
■Setting procedures of AF Fine Adjustment
1. Preparation
Camera, Lens, Object(Chart)*
*As below sample, prepare the flat chart which has a clear contrast of black and white and place it to parallel with the camera.

Caution: Following object and method of capturing are not suitable for AF Fine Adjustment.
・Capture the object which has depth such as keyboard diagonally.
・The spherical object which will easily changes the focus point.

2. Setting of the camera

	Items	Contents
1	Distance	As a guide, set the chart from camera about 30 to 40 times of focal length. (Ex.) f=50mm x40 =2m(2000mm)
2	Zoom Position *in case of Zoom lens	Recommended telephoto end which has narrower depth of field and easy to find focus point.
3	Focus point	Set the center of SEL with AF.S mode or user’s favorite focus point.
4	Light source	Outdoor with sunlight or same as actual capture condition. Observe not to reflect any direct light on the target chart.
5	Condition of the object	Set the target chart to parallel with the camera.
6	Diaphragm	Recommended fully opened aperture which has narrower depth of field and easy to find focus point.

3. Method of AF Fine adjustment (Judgment of Front Focus or Back Focus)
　1. Capture the object in front of the target chart, then judge the Front or Back Focus.
　2. Capture the newspaper or etc. set at same distance with the target chart and see focus condition.
　3. Use [Phase Matching AF] for focusing.
　　　Press [LV] button to set Live View node.
　　　While watching the expanded image of LCD, turn the distance ring of the lens slowly to judge.
　　　(Ex.) If the target in focus when you turn the distance ring toward the infinity, then it will be [Front focus], if it is out of focus, then it will be [Back focus].

According to the result of above captured image, proceed below adjustment.

Select AF Fine Adjustment of Custom Menu 4, press right key, the Setting Menu will be appeared.

Select [2 Apply All] or [3 Apply One]

Apply All	Apply adjusted value for all lenses
Apply One	Apply adjusted value only for attached lens(Max. 20 kinds of lenses)

If there are constant declination of focus point, apply below adjustment.

Back Focus…Adjust toward [+] side
Front Focus…Adjust toward [-] side
Press OK button to fix the adjustment value

Press Menu button to return Capture mode
