You can select a setting value for [ND Filter].
[ND Filter]
If [ND Mode] is set to [Manual], you can select a setting value.
There are two options for the ND filter: [1/8] (3 stops) and [1/64] (6 stops).
[Light Metering]
Select the light metering mode from three options to match the shooting conditions. Using the appropriate setting will
produce a suitable exposure level during automatic exposure (with [Infrared] set to [Disable]).
[Standard]
Averages the light metered from the entire screen, giving more weight to the subject in the center.
[Backlight]
Suitable when shooting backlit scenes.
[Spotlight]
Use this option when shooting a scene in which only a certain part of the picture is lit, for example, when the subject is lit
by a spotlight.
[Flicker Reduction]
Allows the camera to automatically detect and correct flicker caused by artificial light sources. When set to [Enable], it may
be possible to automatically detect and compensate for the flicker.
[Custom Picture]
The camera lets you change several setting that control various aspects of the image produced. As a set, all these settings
are treated as a single custom picture file. After adjusting the desired settings to your preference, you can save up to four
custom picture files in the camera and load them later to apply exactly the same settings. Alternatively, you can use one of
the preset custom picture files.
The following preset custom picture files are protected and cannot be edited.
Important
Depending on the scene, the color may change when turning the ND filter on/off. Setting a custom white balance may be effective
in such case (P. 83).
Important
When the camera mode is set to [Manual], changing the light metering mode will not affect the exposure. Adjust the exposure to a
suitable level.
