Shooting techniques
Normally, the camera automatically adjusts
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
against a white (e.g. snowy) background,
adjust the exposure toward the + side. When
shooting a black, subject that fills the screen,
adjust the exposure toward the – side.

Selecting the
metering mode
Mode dial:
/SCN/
This function enables you to select the
metering mode to suit the shooting
conditions and purpose.
Multi-pattern metering
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.
Spot metering
Light is measured only for the 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 the subject and the
background.
Position the spot metering cross hair on one
point of the subject you want to shoot.
To focus on the metering position, setting
9 (Focus) to [Center AF] is recommended
(page 43).
