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 calcu-
lation 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.
[Center We ighted] (
): 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 taking a
picture of small object like a fl ower or insects.
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
circumstance, it is better to use exposure compensation.

You can select continuous shot, and AEB (Auto Exposure Bracketing).
[Single] (
) :
Take one picture
only.
[Continuous] (
) :
Images will be taken
continuously until the
shutter button is
released.
[Motion Capture] (
) : This takes 5 shots per
second, when the shutter is pressed and held
down. The maximum number of shots is 30 and
the image size is fi xed as VGA.
[AEB] (
) :
Take three pictures in a series in different
exposures: short exposure (-1/3EV), stan-
dard exposure (0.0EV), and over exposure
(+1/3EV).
å
High resolution and picture quality increases fi le saving time,
which increases stand-by time.
å
If the [Continuous], [Motion Capture] or [AEB] sub menu is
selected, the fl ash will be off automatically.
å
If less than 3 pictures are available in the memory, the AEB
shooting is not available.
å
It is best to use a tripod for the AEB shooting as the time to save
each image fi le is longer and blurring caused by camera shake
may occur.
