[Metering Mode]
This function allows adapting the metering mode to different subjects and
situations.
Settings
[Metering Mode] Metering characteristics Conditions
[Multi Metering]
The brightness is detected in
different sections of the frame.
The exposure is then based on
the probable main subject
Normal usage (high probability of
automatically correctly exposed main
subjects even with greater brightness
differences)
[Center Weighted]
The metering sensitivity is
concentrated on the center
while also registering the rest
of the frame
Use when subject is in the center, or to
deliberately base the exposure on an
off-center subject (provided, subject is of
medium brightness)
[Spot]
Only a small area in the center
is registered
Use to base the exposure on very small
subject parts (provided, these parts are of
medium brightness)
[i.Dynamic]
This function automatically adjusts contrast and exposure to produce pictures
with a more balanced and detailed rendition of the brighter and the darker
parts of the picture.
Settings: [HIGH] / [STANDARD] / [LOW] / [OFF]
[LOW], [STANDARD] and [HIGH] indicate the maximum available range.
If [i.Dynamic] is activated even when [Sensitivity] is set to [80] or [100], pictures may
be recorded with higher sensitivity than the ISO Sensitivity setting.
