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 | Metering |
|
| the available light in the |
|
|
| image area. However, the |
|
|
| calculation will be biased |
|
|
| towards the centre of the | Back | Move |
| 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 single, continuous, motion capture, and AEB (Auto Exposure Bracketing).
[Single] ( | ) | : Take one picture only. |
|
|
[Continuous] ( | ) : Images will be taken |
|
| |
|
| continuously until the | Drive |
|
|
| shutter button is |
|
|
|
| released. |
|
|
[Motion Capture] ( | ) : This takes 5 shots | Back | Move | |
|
| per second, when | ||
|
|
|
| |
|
| the shutter is pressed and held down. After | ||
|
| completing the continuous shooting, images | ||
|
| are saved and the images play back on the | ||
|
| Rear LCD. The maximum number of shots is | ||
|
| 30 and the image size is fixed as VGA. | ||
[AEB] ( | ) | : Take three pictures in a series in different | ||
|
| exposures: standard exposure (0.0EV), | ||
|
| short exposure | ||
|
| (+1/2EV). |

High resolution and picture quality increases file saving time, which increases
If the [Continuous], [Motion Capture], [AEB] sub menu is selected, the flash will be off automatically.
If less than 3 pictures are available in the memory, the AEB shooting is not available.
It is best to use a tripod for the AEB shooting as the time to save each image file is longer and blurring caused by camera shake may occur.
