IMPORTANT! • Using flash with high ISO sensitivity can cause problems with subjects that close to the camera. • "Auto" ISO sensitivity always is used for movies, regardless of the current ISO sensitivity setting. • You can use the key customization feature to configure the [W] and [X] buttons so they control the ISO sensitivity setting (page 145). • Anti Shake (page 110) will not work unless the ISO sensitivity setting is set to "Auto". Specifying the Metering Mode The metering mode determines what part of the subject is metered for exposure. 1. In the REC mode, press [MENU]. 2. On the "Quality" tab, select "Metering" and then press [X]. 3. Use [S] and [T] to select the setting you want and then press [SET]. Multi (Multi Metering) Multi-pattern metering divides the image into sections and measures the light in each section for a balanced exposure reading. The camera automatically determines shooting conditions according to the measured lighting pattern, and makes exposure settings accordingly. This type of metering provides error-free exposure settings for a wide range of shooting conditions. 136 ADVANCED SETTINGS
