Selecting the Metering Mode
The metering mode determines what part of the subject is
metered for exposure. You can use the following procedure
to change the camera’s metering mode.
1.
In a REC mode, press [MENU].
2.
Select the “Quality” tab, select “Metering”,
and then press [̈].
3.
Use [̆] and [̄] to select the setting you
want, and then press [SET].
IMPORTANT!
• Under certain conditions, a high shutter speed in
combination with a high ISO sensitivity setting can
cause digital noise (graininess), which makes an
image appear rough. For clean, good-quality images,
use the lowest ISO sensitivity setting possible.
• Using a high ISO sensitivity setting along with the
flash to shoot a nearby subject may result in
improper illumination of the subject.
• “Auto” ISO sensitivity always is used in the following
cases, regardless of the current ISO sensitivity
setting.
Movie mode, MOVIE BEST SHOT mode
NOTE
• You can use the key customization feature (page
137) to configure the camera so the ISO sensitivity
setting changes whenever you press [̇] and [̈]
while in a REC mode.
