[EVALUATION] Evaluative Metering (default):
The evaluative metering method divides the entire screen
area into areas and evaluates the amount of light striking
the screen area, setting the optimum exposure for the
available lighting conditions. This mode provides correct
exposures for general photography and a wide variety of
conditions with normal light and dark.
[CENTER] Center-Weighted Metering:
The center of the screen (
) is given emphasis in
calculating correct exposure. This mode is optimum
when you wish to emphasize the lighting conditions in
the center part of the screen.
[SPOT AREA] Spot Metering:
This mode calculates exposure based only on the light
striking the small central spot (
). Use this mode when
you wish to set the exposure based on the light striking a
small part of the subject.
Increasing Exposure Sensitivity to 2x, 4x
This camera is set by default to a standard sensitivity, but the sensitivity
can be increased by a factor of 2x or 4x when desired. This allows you
to fine-tune exposure for important scenes, or when lighting is
somewhat insufficient.
