~~QQ~~~$ techniques
Normally, the camera automatically atljusts
the exposure. If the image is too dark or too
bright as shown below, we recommend that
you adjust the exposure manually.
When
shooting a back-lit subject or a subject in the
snow, set the exposure toward +, and when
shooting a subject with extremely bright
illumination such as a spotlight against a
dark background, set the exposure toward -.
metering mode to suit the shooting
conditions and purpose.

~~~~-~s~~r~ m~~~g~~~ (
The image is divided into multiple regions
and metering is performed for each region.
The camera judges the subject position and
background brightness, and determines a
well-balanced exposure.
The camera is set to multi-pattern metering
as the factory setting.
Metering is performed with priority given
to the center of the image. The camera
determjnes the exposure based on the
brightness of a subject near the center
according to the shooting aim.
Light is measured only for me specific
region where the subject is located. This lets
you adjust the exposure to the subject even
when the subject is backlit or there is strong
contrast between me subject and the
background.
Position the spot metering cross hair with
the point you want to shoot.
* To focus on the same spot as used for metering,
we recommend using the center
AF mode
(&4VC-CD250) (page 66) or the Focus range
select mode (Center) @!iVC-CWCQ (page 66).
