Samsung U-CA 401 user manual Metering

Metering

If you cannot obtain suitable exposure conditions, you can change the metering method to take brighter pictures.

MULTI(		)	: Exposure will be calculated based on
			an average of the available light in the	2272		ISO
			image area. However, the calculation			AUTO
					METERING
			will be biased towards the centre of
			the image area. This is suitable for		MULTI
					SPOT
			general use.
SPOT (	)		: Only the rectangular area in the center
			of the LCD monitor will be metered for
			light. This is suitable when the subject in the center is exposed correctly,
			regardless of the back lighting.

Fixed as [MULTI] in the TEXT mode.

INFORMATION

The default metering mode is Multi pattern metering.

If the subject is not the centre of the focus area, do not use the spot metering as this may result in an exposure error. In this circumstance, rather use exposure compensation.

ISO

You can select the ISO sensitivity when taking pictures.

The speed or specific light-sensitivity of a camera is rated by ISO numbers.

The higher the ISO value, the higher the camera’s sensitivity to light is and therefore the greater its capacity to take pictures in dark conditions. However, the noise level in the image will increase as the ISO value increases, making the image appear coarse.

ISO

-AUTO :

The camera's sensitivity is automatically changed by variables such as lighting value or subject brightness.

-100, 200, 400 :

You can increase the shutter speed while the same amount of light is present, by increasing the ISO sensitivity. However, the image may be saturated in high luminance.
