menu” on page 64.

correction to designate the target area .
Shooting conditions
To begin shooting immediately when
there is no time to make adjustments.
The background is very bright, and the
subject is too dark.
Setting Effect
Set the A.IRIS MODE switch to BACK
L., turning the indicator on. This lightens the foreground.
The subject is under a spotlight. Set the A.IRIS MODE switch to SPOT
L., turning the indicator on. This prevents white burn-out in highlights
of faces and clothes.
The subject is completely still (e.g. when
shooting documents, drawings, etc.). Enable the EVS (Enhanced Vertical
definition System) function. Set EVS to
ON on pageP1 <SHUTTER> of the
PAINT menu.
Note
Enabling the EVS function tends to
increase the occurrence of aliasing
problems (moiré patterns). Therefore,
normally leave the function disabled.
This enhances the vertical resolution.
When you wish to give a lush effect, as
when shooting a wedding or similar
occasion. Set PRESET MATRIX to HI SAT on
page P8 <USER MATRIX> of the PAINT
menu. This increases the saturation of primary
colors.
Shooting under fluorescent lighting. Set PRESET MATRIX toFL on page P8
<USER MATRIX> of the PAINT menu. This eliminates the blue-green cast, and
rstores natural hues.
