Image Quality
The Image Quality setting refers to the compres-
sion ratio of the JPG. The higher the image quality,
the less the image compression ratio but more
memory space is required. Use the Up/Down
navigation buttons to select from the options.
Three settings for image quality are available:
• Best (default)
• Better
• Good
Focus Zone
The Focus Zone setting allows you to select the
number of zones the camera will focus on when
taking a photo. Use the Up/Down navigation but-
tons to select from the options. Three settings for
focus zone are available:
• Multi-Zone (default)
• Center
• Selected Area: The new setting is applied to the
Live View image each time Up/Down naviga-
tion buttons are pressed. Press the OK button to return to the Capture menu
and save the current setting, which will take effect until it is changed again.
EV Compensation
The EV Compensation menu allows you to adjust
the exposure or amount of light that enters the
lens while capturing photos or videos. Use this fea-
ture to lighten or darken the image when the
brightness between the subject and background is
not balanced or when the subject occupies only a
small part of the photograph. Use a positive (+) EV
compensation for spotlit subjects, especially
against dark backgrounds or scenes with low
reflectivity, such as green or dark foliage.
Use the Up/Down navigation buttons to modify the value. This setting can be
modified from -2.0 to +2.0 in a 0.3 increment/decrement.
