The camera is fixed in Multi mode when “5•4”
or “u” is selected.
This mode can be selected in the “9•0•-•3”
photography modes.
Use this mode for scenes where the brightness
of the subject and background differ markedly so
that the Multi setting is unlikely to achieve the
desired result.
●AVERAGE:Light metering where an average
value for the entire image is used.
●SPOT :Light metering where the exposure
is optimized for the center of the
image.
●MULTI :Light metering where the camera
automatically assesses the scene
and selects the optimum exposure.
●AVERAGE
The advantage of this mode is that the
exposure tends not to change for different
compositions or subjects. This mode is
particularly effective for shots of people
wearing black or white clothing and shots of
scenery.
●SPOT
This mode is useful for subjects with
strongly contrasting light and dark areas
where you want to achieve the correct
exposure for a particular feature.
●MULTI
In this mode, the camera uses automatic
scene recognition to analyze the subject
and provide optimum exposure in a wide
range of shooting conditions. This mode
should be used for everyday photography.
◆The light metering modes are
effective for the following subjects◆
Using the light source for which you want to set
the white balance, hold a sheet of white paper
so that it fills the entire screen.
When you press the “&^*/!” button, a measurement
is taken and the white balance is set.
If “œ” or “§” is displayed, the white
balance was not measured at the correct
exposure. Reset the white balance.
To use the white balance set previously,
press the “MENU/OK” button without
pressing the “&^*/!” button.
●
!
The white balance setting does not affect the image
shown on the screen.
●
!
After you take the picture, you should check the
“Color (White Balance)” setting for the image.
• Set “IMAGE DISPLAY” in the SET–UP menu to
“PREVIEW” (➡P.98).
• Set the Mode switch to “2” (➡P.33).
◆Example ◆
You can deliberately change the white
balance for a photographed image by using
colored paper instead of white paper.
