NOTE:

MULTI: A precise exposure setting is made by dividing the scene into several sections and then measuring the light in each section.

SPOT: The exposure is set by measuring the light in a small spot in the center of the scene. Use this mode when you want to shoot a subject with a large difference between dark and bright area, such as someone on a skihill, or someone standing in a spotlight in a darkened theater.

●If “SPOT” is selected for shooting, press the DSP button until “ ” appears on the LCD screen.
