INFORMATION

This file format complies with the DCF(Design rule for Camera File system). JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) :

JPEG is the image compression standard developed by the Joint Photographic Experts Group. This type of compression is most commonly used for compressing photos and graphics because it can compress the files efficiently without damaging the data.

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

SPOT

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

biased towards the centre of the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

image area. This is suitable for

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

general use.

[PROGRAM mode]

[SPOT] (

centre of the LCD monitor will be metered for light. Use this

 

 

 

setting when you want the subject in the centre to be correctly

 

 

 

exposed, regardless of the back lighting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If 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.
