Camera: Shooting options and settings

Spot: The camera calculates the amount of light in the centre. When you take a photo in conditions where there is a strong backlight behind a subject, the camera adjusts the exposure to shoot a subject correctly.

Centre-weighted: The camera calculates a broader area than the camera does in spot mode. It sums up the amount of light in the centre portion of the shot (60–80 %) and that of the rest of the shot (20–40 %).

Drive mode

Continuous shot: Use this to take a series of photos of moving subjects.

Saving photos may take longer depending on the memory card’s capacity and performance when taking photos continuously.
