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 
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.
[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 objects like fl owers 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 circum-
stance, it is better to use exposure compensation.

[AEB] :

short exposure (-1/3EV), standard exposure (0.0EV), 
and over exposure (+1/3EV).
You can select continuous shot, and AEB (Auto Exposure Bracketing).

High resolution and picture quality increases fi le saving time, which 
increases stand-by time.

the fl ash will be off automatically.

If less than 3 pictures are available in the memory, the AEB shooting 
is not available.

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.
