Increasing Exposure Sensitivity to 2x, 4x

This camera is set by default to a standard sensitivity, but the sensitivity can be increased by a factor of 2x or 4x when desired. This allows you to fine-tune exposure for important scenes, or when lighting is somewhat insufficient.

The evaluative metering method divides the entire screen area into areas and evaluates the amount of light striking the screen area, setting the optimum exposure for the available lighting conditions. This mode provides correct exposures for general photography and a wide variety of conditions with normal light and dark.

[CENTER] Center-Weighted Metering:

The center of the screen () is given emphasis in calculating correct exposure. This mode is optimum when you wish to emphasize the lighting conditions in the center part of the screen.

[SPOT AREA] Spot Metering:

This mode calculates exposure based only on the light striking the small central spot (). Use this mode when you wish to set the exposure based on the light striking a small part of the subject.
