● EV Compensation
The Exposure Value (EV) compensation can be adjusted automatically , or manually in 20 levels
from -2.0EV to +2.0EV. All things being equal, the higher the EV compensation, the brighter the photos.
● Metering Mode
Four Metering Modes are available, as below:
!Matrix Metering
Matrix Metering divides the viewfinder into several zones to make an ideal exposure value.
!Center-Weighted Metering
This uses the entire image area but calculates the exposure by giving more importance to the center of the
image. This mode is best for portrait photography.
!Spot Metering
This measures a spot in the center, which is about 1/25

of the viewfinder’s area to determine the
exposure of the entire image. Spot Metering is suitable for extremely bright and dark backgrounds.
!Auto Focus Metering
This metering technique is applied to the current focus zone.
