Metering
This setting specifies how the shutter operates.
Single
: Allows recording of five images at an
interval of about 2.5 seconds.
Continuous : Allows recording of sequential images
at an interval of about 1 second while
the shutter button is held down (when
the monitor screen is turned off).
AEB
: Records three versions of the same
image with different EV settings.
• With any of the above settings, the interval may be
longer at slow shutter speeds.
• The interval may also be longer when battery power
is low and when you are using a microdrive for stor-
age.
This setting sets the metering method.
Multi
: Takes readings across the
entire image, and provides
balanced exposure settings.
Average : Takes an average reading of
the entire screen.
Spot
: Takes reading at a very lim-
ited spot at the center of the
image. Peripheral lighting
does not affect this reading,
so exposure is based on the
subject alone.
