Sharpness
■You can adjust the sharpness of the picture you want to take. But you cannot check the sharpness effect on the LCD monitor before you take a picture, because this function is applied after the captured image is stored on the memory.

- SPOT : Only the rectangular area in the centre | [PROGRAM mode] |
of the LCD monitor will be metered for |
|
light. This is suitable when you want the subject in the centre | |
correctly exposed, regardless of the back lighting. | |
-CENTER : 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.
※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 such circumstances, it is better to use exposure compensation.
