SEQUENTIAL SHOOTING
This function allows you to take a rapid succession of still pictures by pressing
and holding the shutter button (approximately 8 pictures at 1.3 frames per
second by Sequential shooting in HQ mode). As you can choose the best
picture from a series of sequential shots, you are recommended to use this
mode when taking pictures of a moving subject. Focus, exposure and white
balance are locked at the first frame. You can also erase the unwanted shots
afterwards.

SELECTING THE METERING AREA
In a backlight situation, your subject may appear dark if the picture is taken
with the normal metering value (Digital ESP metering). In this case, by
changing the metering area to the center of the viewfinder screen (Spot
metering), a subject can be shot with optimal exposure regardless of the
background light.
ESP (Digital ESP) : Meters the center of the viewfinder and the area
around it separately to obtain the optimum
exposure.
(Spot metering) : Meters only the center of the viewfinder to obtain the
appropriate exposure for the subject.
