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] 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 flowers or insects. 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 circumstance, it is better to use exposure compensation. Icon Drive Mode Description [Single] Take one picture only. [Continuous] Images will be taken continuously until the Shutter button is released. [Motion Capture] This takes 6 shots per second for up to 5 seconds, when the shutter is pressed and held down. After completing the continuous shooting, images are saved automatically. The maximum number of shots is 30 and the image size is fixed as VGA. [AEB] Take three pictures in a series in different exposures: standard exposure (0.0EV), short exposure (-1/3EV) and over exposure (+1/3EV). 039
