Continuous
Images will be taken continuously until the
Shutter
button is released.
Motion
Capture
This takes 6 shots per second for up to 5 seconds,
when the shutter is pressed and held down. After
completing the continuous shooting, images are
saved automatically. The maximum number of shots
is 30 and the image size is fi xed as VGA.
AEB
Take three pictures in a series in different
exposures: standard exposure (0.0EV), short
exposure (-1/3EV) and over exposure (+1/3EV).
High resolution and picture quality increases fi le saving time,
which increases stand-by time.
If the [Continuous], [Motion Capture] or [AEB] sub menu is
selected, the fl ash will be off automatically.
If less than 30 pictures are available in the memory, the motion
capture is not available.
It is best to use a tripod for the AEB shooting as the time to
save each image fi le is longer and blurring caused by camera
shake may occur.

Description
Multi
Exposure will be calculated based on an average
of light in each image area divided into multiple
regions. 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 suitable
when the subject in the centre is exposed correctly,
regardless of the back lighting.
Center
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 objects like fl owers or insects.
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.
