Metering
The metering mode refers to the method the camera measures the quantity of light.
The camera measures the amount of light in a scene, and in many of its modes, uses the
measurement to adjust various settings. For example, if a subject looks darker than its actual
colour, the camera takes an overexposed photo of it. If a subject looks lighter than its actual
colour, the camera takes an underexposed photo of it.
In expert mode, tap

→
Metering
, and then select an option.
•
Matrix
: The camera calculates the amount of light in multiple areas. When light is
sufficient or insufficient, the camera adjusts the exposure by averaging the overall
brightness of the scene. This mode is suitable for general photos.
Camera: Shooting options and settings
100
•
Spot
: The camera calculates the amount of light in the centre. When you take a photo
in conditions where there is a strong backlight behind a subject, the camera adjusts the
exposure to shoot a subject correctly.
•
Centre-weighted
: The camera calculates a broader area than the camera does in spot
mode. It sums up the amount of light in the centre portion of the shot (60–80 %) and that
of the rest of the shot (20–40 %).
Drive mode
Use this option to set the shooting method. Continuous shots are recommended for shooting
the rapid motion of fast moving subjects, such as racing cars.
In expert mode, tap

•
Single shot
: Use this to take a single photo.
•
Continuous shot
: Use this to take a series of photos of moving subjects.
•
AE BKT
: Use the auto exposure bracketing option to take three consecutive photos with
different exposure values (one a step lighter, the original, and one a step darker). Use a
tripod to prevent blurry photos.
•
Saving photos may take longer depending on the memory card’s capacity and
performance when taking photos continuously.
•
Using a tripod is recommended when taking photos continuously.
