PHOTOMETRY
Available Photography mode: s
Use this mode for scenes where the brightness of
the subject and background differ markedly so that
the MULTI setting is unlikely to achieve the desired
results.
∏ MULTI (Pattern): Light metering where the
camera assesses the scene
and selects the correct
exposure.
” SPOT: Light metering where the exposure is
optimized for the center of the image.
’ AVERAGE: Light metering where an average
value for the entire image is used.
●
!
In the “B”, “?” and “r” modes, light metering is fixed at
the MULTI setting and cannot be changed.

The photometry modes are effective for the following subjects
◆
h MULTI
In this mode, the camera uses automatic scene recognition to analyze the subject and provide
optimum exposure in a wide range of shooting conditions. This mode should be used for everyday
photography.
h SPOT
This mode is useful for subjects with strongly contrasting light and dark areas where you want to
achieve the correct exposure for a particular feature.
h AVERAGE
The advantage of this mode is that the exposure tends not to change for different compositions or
subjects. This mode is particularly effective for shots of people wearing black or white clothing and
shots of scenery.
AUTO:Automatic adjustment
(shooting to show the ambience of
the light source)
≥: Custom white balance
6: Shooting outdoors in good weather
7: Shooting in shade
9: Shooting under “Daylight” fluorescent
lamps
0: Shooting under “Warm White” fluorescent
lamps
-: Shooting under “Cool White” fluorescent
lamps
8: Shooting in incandescent light
✽ When the flash fires, the white balance setting (excluding custom white balance) for the flash is used. Consequently,
to achieve a particular effect, the flash mode should be set to Suppressed flash (➡P.38).
●
!
The color tones may vary depending on the shooting conditions (light source, etc.).
Change the white balance setting to take a picture
with the white balance fixed for the surroundings
and lighting.
In AUTO mode, the correct white balance may not
be achieved for subjects such as close-ups of
people’s faces and pictures taken under a special
light source. Select the correct white balance for
the light source. See P.117 for more information on
the white balance.
