Metering

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

Continuous shot

Select the number of pictures in continuous shooting.
- Single : Take one picture only
- Continuous : Images will be taken continuously
until the shutter button is released.
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.

AEB
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
captured image is stored on the memory.
- 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.
