[Multiple]: The camera measures a wide range in the center of the monitor
(within the focusing area) and focuses on the nearest subject.
[Spot]: The camera measures a narrow range in the center of the monitor (the
spot focusing area) making easier for you to focus on a specific subject.

For setting the sensitivity.
When the option is set to [Auto], the sensitivity is automatically set in the
range from 50 to 200.
The lower the sensitivity (the lower values), the sharper the image and the less
noise. The shutter speed will be slower in low light conditions.
The higher the sensitivity (the higher values), the faster the shutter speed in low
light conditions to reduce camera shake, but the image may be affected by
noise.
You can select 800 for Sensitivity in Candlelight mode.
EV Compensa-
tion
For adjusting the exposure between –2.0 and +2.0.
To brighten, set a positive (+) value. To darken, set a negative (–) value.
You can choose the EV setting in the range of –2.0 EV to +2.0 EV in 1/3 EV
steps.

X30
For setting the time-lapse setting of the movie. This mode lets you take movies
at a delayed frame rate so that when you play the movie back, the action
appears speeded up.
Off (X1) is the normal setting for movies (approximately 30 frames per sec-
ond). Each time X2 or X5 is selected, the number of frames taken per second is
reduced to 1/2 or 1/5.
As movies are normally played back at the rate of approximately 30 frames per
second, movies taken at X2 appear to be played back at twice the normal speed
and movies taken at X5 appear to be played back at five times the normal
speed.
Sound cannot be recorded.
