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,	METERING
		the calculation will be	Multi
		biased towards 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 light-
		ing.
[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.
[Continuous] (		) : Images will be taken
		continuously until the
		shutter button is
		released.	DRIVE
[AEB] (	)	: Take three pictures	Single
		in a series in different
		exposures: short exposure (-1/3EV), stan-
		dard exposure (0.0EV), and over exposure
		(+1/3EV).

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

If the [Continuous], [AEB] sub menu is selected, the flash will be off automatically.

If less 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 blurring caused by camera shake may occur.
