ADVANCED SHOOTING
Drive mode
Single-frame shooting : Shoots 1 frame at a time when the shutter
button is pressed all the way. (normal shooting)
Sequential shooting : Shoots pictures sequentially. Focus and exposure
are locked at the first frame.
AF Sequential shooting : Shoots pictures sequentially. Focus is
adjusted for each frame automatically. The AF Sequential shooting speed is
lower than normal sequential shooting.
Self-Timer Shooting : Shoots a single frame using the self-timer control.
Auto bracketing BKT : Shoots multiple frames of the same picture, each
with a different exposure value. Focus and white balance are locked at the
first frame.
Press the DRIVE button repeatedly until the desired mode appears.
Spot metering
There are 2 metering methods: Digital ESP metering and spot metering.
Digital ESP metering: Meters the center of the subject and the area around it.
Spot metering: Exposure is determined by metering within the AF target
mark. In this mode, a subject can be shot with optimal exposure regardless of
the background light. In the working range of the macro mode, spot metering
is also available (spot mmacro mode).
Press the button repeatedly until (spot metering) or
(spot mmacro mode) appears.
AE lock
Suitable for situations when optimal exposure is difficult to achieve (such as
excessive contrast between the subject and the surroundings). For example,
if the sun is in the frame and shooting with automatic exposure results in a
dark subject, re-compose your shot so that the sun is not in the frame. Then,
press the
button to lock the metered value (exposure) temporarily.
Then compose your shot again with the sun in the frame and shoot. In other
words, use AE lock when you want an exposure setting that's different from
the setting that would normally apply to the image you want to shoot.
