Metering modes: Select a metering
method. This determines how light values
are calculated. Center-weighted measures
background light in the center of the scene.
Spot measures the light value at a specific
location. Matrix averages the entire scene.
•
ISO: Select an ISO value. This controls camera
light sensitivity. It is measured in film-camera
equivalents. Low values are for stationary or
brightly-lit objects. Higher values are for fast-
moving or poorly-lit objects.

Anti-shake: compensates for camera
movement.
•
Auto night detection: Activates or deactivates
the night detection feature.

This determines how much light the camera's

higher exposure.
