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.Exposure]
Recording modes:
Automatically adjusts contrast and exposure to give more lifelike colors when there is
significant contrast between the main subject and the background.
• When [i.Exposure] works, the color of changes.
Settings: [ON] / [OFF]
Even if [Sensitivity] is set to [80] or [100], when [i.Exposure] is activated, pictures may
be taken at a higher ISO Sensitivity than the setting.
