This mode can be selected in the “ W ”
photography mode.
Use the Brightness setting to obtain the optimum
image brightness (exposure) when the subject is
much brighter or darker than the background.
hCorrection range: 13 steps
(– 2.1 EV to + 1.5 EV in 0.3 EV increments)
See P.128 for more information on EV.
hMULTI
In this mode, the camera uses automatic
scene recognition to analyze the subject
and provide optimum exposure in a wide
range of shooting conditions. This mode
should be used for everyday photography.
hSPOT
This mode is useful for subjects with
strongly contrasting bright and dark areas
where you want to achieve the correct
exposure for a particular feature.
hAVERAGE
The advantage of this mode is that the
exposure tends not to change for different
compositions or subjects. This mode is
particularly effective for shots of people
wearing black or white clothing and shots of
scenery.
This mode can be selected in the “ W ”
photography mode.
Use this mode for scenes where the brightness
of the subject and background differ markedly so
that the Multi setting is unlikely to achieve the
desired result.
hMULTI : Exposure metering where the camera
automatically assesses the scene
and selects the optimum exposure.
hSPOT : Exposure metering where the
exposure is optimized for the center
of the image.
hAVERAGE: Exposure metering where an
average value for the entire image
is used.

(+0.9 EV)
h Spotlit subjects, particularly against dark
backgrounds (–0.6 EV)
h Copying of printed text (white characters
on black paper) (–0.6 EV)
