Metering Sharpness
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 centre
of the LCD monitor will be metered for light. This is suitable
when the subject in the centre is exposed correctly, regardless
of the back lighting.
Ä 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 circum-
stance, it is better to use exposure compensation.

You can adjust the sharpness of the picture
you are about to take. You cannot check the
sharpness effect on the LCD monitor before you
take a picture, because this function is applied
only when the captured image is stored on the
memory.
