ADVANCED SHOOTING En Ⅵ Drive mode Mode dial setting Single-frame shooting : Shoots 1 frame at a time when the shutter button is pressed all the way. (normal shooting) Sequential shooting : Shoots pictures sequentially. Focus, exposure and white balance are locked at the first frame. AF Sequential shooting : Shoots pictures sequentially. Focus is adjusted for each frame automatically. The AF Sequential shooting speed is lower than normal sequential shooting. Self-Timer Shooting : Shoots a single frame using the self-timer control. Auto bracketing BKT : Shoots multiple frames of the same picture, each with a different exposure value. Focus and white balance are locked at the first frame. Press the DRIVE button repeatedly until the desired mode appears. Ⅵ Spot metering Mode dial setting There are 2 metering methods: Digital ESP metering and spot metering. Digital ESP metering: Meters the center of the subject and the area around it. Spot metering: Exposure is determined by metering within the AF target mark. In this mode, a subject can be shot with optimal exposure regardless of the background light. In the working range of the macro mode, spot metering is also available (spot metering+macro mode). Press the button repeatedly until (spot metering+macro mode) appears. (spot metering) or Ⅵ AE lock Mode dial setting Suitable for situations when optimal exposure is difficult to achieve (such as excessive contrast between the subject and the surroundings). For example, if the sun is in the frame and shooting with automatic exposure results in a dark subject, re-compose your shot so that the sun is not in the frame. Then, press the button to lock the metered value (exposure) temporarily. Then compose your shot again with the sun in the frame and shoot. In other words, use AE lock when you want an exposure setting that's different from the setting that would normally apply to the image you want to shoot. 28
