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 will be

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 the preferable setting when you want the subject in the centre of the image exposed correctly, regardless of the back lighting.

INFORMATION

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.

Continuous shot

Select the number of pictures in continuous shooting.

- Single

: Take one picture only

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

- Continuous

: Images will be taken continuously

The shooting capacity depends on

the memory available.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

- AEB

: Take three pictures in a series in

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

different exposures: short exposure

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(-0.5EV), standard exposure (0.0EV) and over exposure (+0.5EV).

 

Use this mode if it is hard to decide exposure of the object.

High resolution and picture quality increases file saving time, which increases stand-by time.

If fewer than 3 pictures are available in the memory, the AEB shooting is not available.

It is best to use a tripod for the AEB shooting as the time to save each image file is longer and the blurring caused by camera shake may occur.

Sharpness

You can adjust the sharpness of the picture you are

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

about to take. You cannot check the sharpness

effect on the LCD monitor before you take a picture,

because this function is applied only when the

- Soft

: The edges of the image are softened.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This effect is suitable for editing images

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

on your PC.

 

 

 

 

 

 

- Normal

: The edges of the image are sharp.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is suitable for printing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

- Vivid

: The edges of the image are emphasized. The edges will appear

 

sharp, but noise may occur in the recorded image.
