Adjusting the brightness of the image Metering Mode Fn button t (Metering Mode) t Select the desired mode (Multi segment) This mode measures light on each area after dividing the total area into multiple areas and determines the proper exposure of the entire screen. (Center weighted) While emphasizing the central area of the screen, this mode measures the average brightness of the entire screen. (Spot) This mode measures light only in the spot metering circle located in the center area. Shooting techniques • Use [Multi segment] metering for general shooting. • When there is a high contrast subject in the AF area, measure the light of the subject you want to shoot with the optimal exposure using the spot metering function and take advantage of an AE lock shooting (page 131). Note • When the exposure mode is set to AUTO, AUTO+, or Scene Selection, or when smart teleconverter is used, [Metering Mode] is fixed to [Multi segment] and you cannot select other modes. Flash Comp. When shooting with the flash, you can adjust the amount of flash light alone, without changing the exposure compensation. You can only change the exposure of a main subject which is within the flash range. Fn button t (Flash Comp.) t Select the desired setting Toward +: Makes the flash level higher. Toward -: Makes the flash level lower. Notes • This item cannot be set when the exposure mode is set to AUTO, AUTO+, Sweep Panorama, 3D Sweep Panorama, or Scene Selection. • The higher flash effect may not be visible due to the limited amount of flash light, if the subject is outside the maximum range of the flash. If the subject is very close, the lower flash effect may not be visible. 132
