Options

 Default value

[ EVALUATIVE]

 

 

Appropriate for standard shooting conditions, including backlit scenes. The camcorder divides the picture into several areas and the light is measured in all of them to achieve the optimal exposure for the subject.

[ CENT.WEIGHT.AVERAGE]

Averages the light metered from the entire screen, giving more weight to the subject in the center.

Histogram Display

When viewing still images you can display the histogram and the icons of all the functions used at the time of recording. Use the histogram as a reference to verify the correct exposure of the still image.

The area to the right of the histogram represents highlights and the left side represents shadows. A still image whose histogram skews to the right is relatively bright; while one whose histogram peaks to the left, is relatively dark.
