Metering, Drive mode | Samsung BL1050 instruction

Metering

If you cannot obtain suitable exposure conditions, you can change the metering method to take brighter pictures.

[Multi]	: Exposure will be
	calculated based on an
	average of the available
	light in the image area.
	However, the calculation	METERING
	will be biased towards	Multi
	the centre of the image
	area. This is suitable for general use.
[Spot]	: Only the rectangular area in the centre of the LCD
	monitor will be metered for light. This is suitable
	when the subject in the centre is exposed correctly,
	regardless of the back lighting.

[Center Weighted]: Exposure will be calculated based on an average of the available light in the image area. However, the calculation will be biased towards the centre of the image area. This is suitable for taking a picture of small object like a ﬂower or insects.

ÄIf the subject is not the centre of the focus area, do not use the spot metering as this may result in an exposure error. In this circumstance, it is better to use exposure compensation.

Drive mode

You can select continuous shot, and AEB (Auto Exposure Bracketing).

[Single] : Take one picture only.
[AEB] : Take three pictures in a series in
different exposures: short
exposure (-1/3EV), standard
exposure (0.0EV), and over	DRIVE
exposure (+1/3EV).	Single
