Using the Menus: Shooting Mode

BPHOTOMETRY

Choose how the camera meters exposure when Intelligent Face Detection is off.

•NMULTI: Automatic scene recognition is used to adjust exposure for a wide range of shooting conditions.

•OSPOT: The camera meters lighting conditions at the center of the frame. Recommended when the background is much brighter or darker than the main subject. Can be used with focus lock (pg. 32) to meter off-center subjects.

•PAVERAGE: Exposure is set to the average for the entire frame. Provides consistent exposure across multiple shots with the same lighting, and is particularly effective for landscapes and portraits of subjects dressed in black or white.

FAF MODE

This option controls how the camera selects the focus area. Regardless of the option selected, the camera will focus on the subject in the center of the monitor when macro mode is on (pg. 36).

• wCENTER: The camera focuses on the subject in

the center of the frame. This option can be used with

focus lock.

•xMULTI: When the shutter button is pressed halfway, the camera detects high-contrast subjects near the center of the frame and

selects the focus area automatically (if the focus frame is not displayed, select wCENTER and use focus lock; pg. 32).
