Metering
If you cannot obtain suitable exposure conditions, you can change the metering method to
take brighter pictures.
MULTI( ) : Exposure will be calculated based on
an average of the available light in the
image area. However, the calculation
will be biased towards the centre of
the image area. This is suitable for
general use.
SPOT ( ) : Only the rectangular area in the center
of the LCD monitor will be metered for
light. This is suitable when the subject in the center is exposed correctly,
regardless of the back lighting.
The default metering mode is Multi pattern metering.
If the subject is not the centre of the focus area, do not use the spot metering as this may
result in an exposure error. In this circumstance, rather use exposure compensation.
INFORMATION
ISO
You can select the ISO sensitivity when taking pictures.
The speed or specific light-sensitivity of a camera is rated by ISO numbers.
The higher the ISO value, the higher the camera’s sensitivity to light is and therefore the
greater its capacity to take pictures in dark conditions. However, the noise level in the image
will increase as the ISO value increases, making the image appear coarse.
Fixed as [MULTI] in the TEXT mode.
Fixed as [100] in the TEXT mode.
ISO
- AUTO :
The camera's sensitivity is automatically changed by
variables such as lighting value or subject brightness.
- 100, 200, 400 :
You can increase the shutter speed while the same
amount of light is present, by increasing the ISO
sensitivity. However, the image may be saturated in high
luminance.
