Shooting techniques
When shooting images, the camera
automatically sets the exposure.
When shooting a whitish overall image such as
a backlit subject or a snowy scene, the camera
may judge that the subject is bright and set a
darker exposure for the image. In such cases,
adjusting the exposure in the + (plus) direction
is effective.
When shooting a dark subject that fills the
frame, the camera may judge that the subject is
dark and set a brighter exposure for the image.
In such cases, adjusting the exposure in the –
(minus) direction is effective.
Refer to the histogram and adjust so that the
image is not overexposed (white out) or
underexposed (black out).
Try various images with different exposures to
find the brightness that suits your taste.

Selecting the
metering method
You can select the metering mode that sets
which part of the subject to measure to
determine the exposure.
Multi-pattern metering (No
indicator)
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 factory setting is the multi-pattern
metering.
Spot metering ( )
Metering is performed for only a part of the
subject. This lets you shoot images that are
not too dark even when the subject is
backlit, or adjust the exposure to the subject
when there is strong contrast between the
subject and the background.
