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 image area.

 

 

However, the calculation

METERING

 

will be biased towards

Multi

 

the centre of the image

 

 

area. This is suitable for general use.

 

[Spot]

: Only the rectangular area in the centre of the LCD

 

monitor will be metered for light. This is suitable

 

when the subject in the centre is exposed correctly,

 

regardless of the back lighting.

 

[Center Weighted]: Exposure will be calculated based on an average of the available light in the image area. However, the calculation will be biased towards the centre of the image area. This is suitable for taking a picture of small object like a flower or insects.

ÄIf 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, it is better to use exposure compensation.

Drive mode

You can select continuous shot, and AEB (Auto Exposure Bracketing).

[Single] : Take one picture only.

 

[AEB] : Take three pictures in a series in

 

different exposures: short

 

exposure (-1/3EV), standard

 

exposure (0.0EV), and over

DRIVE

exposure (+1/3EV).
