Ⅵ AE lock 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. ● If you shoot with strong backlighting, etc., shadows may be colored in pictures. Ⅵ Macro mode shooting Allows you to shoot close to the subject (no closer than 0.2 m (0.6 ft)) so that you can fill the entire frame with your subject while the zoom lever is pressed to the maximum W position. If you are close to a subject, the picture area in the viewfinder is different from the picture that the camera actually records. For macro mode shooting, we recommend using the monitor. Press the button repeatedly until (Macro mode) or metering+Macro mode) appears on the control panel. (Spot Ⅵ Exposure Compensation This function allows you to make fine changes to the present exposure setting. In some situations, you may get better results when the exposure that the camera sets is compensated (adjusted) manually. You can adjust between +/-2.0 in 1/3 steps. Adjusts towards - (images become darker) É Adjusts towards + í (images become brighter) 35
