METERING MODES

The metering mode is selected in section 2 of the recording menu (p. 40). Metering cannot be changed with the movie recording or digital subject programs.

Multi-segment metering: uses 256 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 automatically activates if off and a small circle appears 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 remains active.

INSTANT PLAYBACK

After a still image is captured, it can be displayed on the monitor for two seconds before being saved. Instant playback shows the last frame in the series when used with the continuous-advance drive mode (p. 37). When the LCD monitor is turned off (p. 29), it activates automatically for the instant playback period.

Instant playback can be activated in section 3 of the recording menu (p. 40). When used with voice memo, the audio recording begins after the image is played back.
