Exposure

Exposure Metering Modes You can choose from three Exposure metering modes. Select the mode which best suits your subject’s lighting and the exposure effect you desire.

Choosing a Metering Mode
	• Press and hold the Metering Mode button, then turn the C-Dial to select
	a Metering mode.
		8 Segment metering:
		Your camera measures the scene brightness by independently
		measuring eight areas of the scene. It then analyzes the data and
		sets the correct exposure for the main subject.
		Even under strong back lighting or complex lighting situations,
		your camera will give you the correct exposure.
		Center Area metering:
		Your camera measures the scene brightness only within the
		circle in the viewfinder. This mode is suitable when you wish to
		base the exposure on a very small portion of the scene and
		ignore the lighting or brightness of rest of the scene.
	[ ]	Average metering:
		Your camera measures the average brightness of the entire
		scene with special emphasis on the center area. It then
		calculates the best exposure for this average brightness.
Exposure Modes	In selecting the Exposure mode, you can choose whether you want to set
	the shutter speed and/or lens aperture automatically or manually.

Your camera has four exposure modes:

•Program Auto Exposure (P)

•Aperture Priority AE (A)

•Shutter Speed Priority AE (S)

•Manual (M)
