RECORDING FUNCTIONS
SPOT METERING MODE
Your subject may appear dark when it is against a bright background. In this
case, change the metering setting to SPOT. The camera calculates the
exposure using only the lighting information at the center of the viewfinder
without it being affected by the background light.
Note Metering settings
ESP ( ): The light in the center of the viewfinder and in
the surrounding area are measured separately
to obtain the optimum exposure. (No mark is
displayed on the LCD monitor)
SPOT ( ): Only the light in the center of the viewfinder is measured
to obtain the correct exposure for the subject.
