METERING MODE
2
This command is common to both the REC and MOTION PICTURE menus.
It establishes the type of optical method employed to measure bright-
ness.
Utilizes the whole screen to determine the proper exposure to use.
Note: This is the recommended setting. When AF is set to [ON] and a face
is detected, the camera will focus on the face to determine the proper
exposure.
The meter reading is biased to the center of the screen to determine the
proper exposure.
The meter utilizes a spot to determine the proper exposure.
I.DYNAMIC

This command is common to both the REC and MOTION PICTURE menus.
The contrast and exposure is adjusted automatically when there is a
significant difference in brightness between the background and the sub-
ject. The icon turns yellow when this command is activated.
Note: Image detection diminishes when there is a significant difference
between the background and the subject brightness. Adjusting the con-
trast and exposure helps you visualize details in the shadows and high-
lights.
