FULL-TIME AF
With full-time AF active, the autofocus systems continually focuses to keep the monitor image sharp. This also reduces the autofocusing time when taking pictures. Full-time AF can be activated in the custom 1 section of the multi-function recording mode menu (p. 54).
When the monitor is turned off or when the camera is set to manual focus, full-time AF is disabled. Turning the full-time AF function off can help conserve battery power.
METERING MODES
The icons indicating the metering modes are displayed on the monitor. The metering mode is set in the custom 1 section of the multi-function recording mode menu (p. 54).
Multi-segment metering uses 270 segments to measure luminance and color. This data is combined with distance information to calculate the camera exposure. This advanced metering system will give accurate worry-free exposures in almost all situations.
Spot metering uses a small area within the image to calculate the exposure. When this mode is selected, the LCD monitor will automatically activate if off and a small circle will appear in the middle of the live image
indicating the measuring area. The spot allows precise exposure measurements of a particular object without being influenced by extremely bright or dark areas within the scene. If the LCD monitor is turned off, the spot-metering mode will remain active.
