Exposure Metering
Evaluate light levels at
specific areas of a scene.

you change modes or turn
off the camera.
Multi-pattern (default)—evaluates lighting
conditions throughout the image to give an optimum
picture exposure. Ideal for general picture taking.
Center-weight—evaluates the lighting conditions of
the subject centered in the viewfinder. Ideal for backlit
subjects.
Center-spot—similar to Center-weight, except the
metering is concentrated on a smaller area of the subject
centered in the viewfinder. Ideal when you need an exact
exposure of a specific area in the picture.
AF Control

setting.
This setting remains until
you change it.
Continuous AF—because the camera is always
focusing, there is no need to press the Shutter button
halfway down to focus.
Single AF (default)—uses external AF sensor and
TTL-AF when the Shutter button is pressed halfway down.
NOTE: In Video mode, the settings are Continuous AF or Off.
Focus Zone
Select a large or
concentrated area of
focus.
This setting remains until

even picture focus. Ideal for general picture taking.

viewfinder. Ideal when precise focus of a specific area in
the picture is needed.
NOTE: For the best pictures, the camera is set to Multi-zone
when in Landscape mode.
