RECORDING - ADVANCED OPERATION

METERING MODES

The metering mode is selected in section
2 of the recording menu (page 57).
Metering cannot be changed with the
movie recording or digital subject
programs.
MultiSegment:
Uses 256 segments to measure
luminance and color. This data is
combined with distance information to
calculate the camera exposure. This
advanced metering system will give
accurate worry-free exposures in
almost all situations.
Spot:
Uses a small area within the image to
calculate the exposure. When this
mode is selected, the LCD monitor
automatically activates if off and a
small circle appears in the middle of the
live image indicating the measuring
area. The spot allows precise exposure
measurements of a particular object
without being influenced by extremely
bright or dark areas within the scene. If
the LCD monitor is turned off, the spot-
metering mode remains active.

INSTANT PLAYBACK

After a still image is captured, it can be displayed on the monitor for two
seconds before being saved. Instant playback shows the last frame in the
series when used with the sequential drive mode (page 53). When the LCD
monitor is turned off (page 37), it activates automatically for the instant
playback period.
Instant playback can be activated in section 3 of the recording menu
(page 57). When used with voice memo (page 67), the audio recording
begins after the image is played back.
