ADVANCED SHOOTING (Cont.)

 AE lock

Suitable for situations when optimal exposure is difficult to achieve (such as

excessive contrast between the subject and the surroundings). For example,

taking a picture with the bright sky takes up most of the frame may cause

underexposure of the subject in the foreground. In such a case, compose a

shot without the bright sky, then press to lock the metered value

(exposure) temporarily. Then compose your shot again with the bright sky in

the frame and shoot. In other words, use AE lock when you want an exposure

setting that is different from the setting that would normally apply to the image

you want to shoot.

 Macro mode shooting

The macro mode allows you to shoot close to the subject (within

10 cm – 60 cm (0.4 ft – 2 ft)). When the zoom lever is pressed to the

maximum W position, you can fill the entire frame with your subject.

Focusing is usually slow when you get close to a subject. However, in the

(macro) mode focusing is performed quickly.

If the center of the frame (within the AF target mark) is metered when you are

close to the subject and you shoot with the optimal exposure, the picture will

turn out well (Spot metering+ Macro mode).

Press repeatedly until (macro mode) or (spot

metering+macro mode) appears.
