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

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.

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

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

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

If the [Continuous] or [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 the blurring caused by camera shake may occur.
