Image Quality

The Image Quality setting refers to the compression ratio of the JPG.
The higher image quality, more memory space is required. Use the Up/
Down navigation buttons to select from the options. Three settings for
image quality are available:
• BEST (default)
• BETTER
• GOOD

Focus Zone

The Focus Zone setting allows you to select the number of zones the
camera will focus on when taking a photo. Use the Up/Down navigation
buttons to select from the options. Three settings for focus zone are
available:
• MULTI-ZONE (default)
• CENTER
• SELECTED AREA: When this option is set, press the OK button to
enable AF area selection. The new setting is applied to the Live
View image each time navigation buttons are pressed. Press the
OK button to return to the capture mode and save the current
setting, which will take effect until it is changed again.
Note: In Auto Mode, there is no "Selected Area" item.

EV Compensation

The EV Compensation menu allows you to adjust the exposure or
amount of light that enters the lens while capturing photos or videos.
Use this feature to take pictures that are intentionally overexposed or
underexposed.
Use the Up/Down navigation buttons to modify the value. To brighten,
select a positive (+) value. To darken, select a negative (-) value. This
setting can be modified from -2.0EV to +2.0EV in a 1/3EV increment/
decrement.
