■ Exposure compensation

The camera automatically sets the correct exposure for your shots, but you can

also adjust the exposure by plus or minus 2 steps in increments of 1/3 of a step.

Select a positive compensation value to show white objects more brightly or a

negative value to show black objects more intensely black.

■ Sequence mode

Sequential Shooting ( ): Allows you to take up to five frames in a sequence

of sequential shots. Focus, brightness (exposure), and white balance are locked

at the first frame.

AF Sequential Shooting ( ): Allows you to take a sequence of sequen-

tial shots. Focus, brightness (exposure), and white balance are measured and

updated for each frame.

Self-timer/remote-control ( ): Allows you to take pictures with the self-

timer/remote-control.

Auto bracket (BKT): Allows you to record multiple images with different bright-

ness settings from a single shot. Focus and white balance are set for the first shot

and remain fixed during continuous shooting.

■ AE Lock

You can use this feature when you want to set the exposure for one scene and

then recompose the shot and use the same exposure settings for the new scene.

■ Spot Metering mode

In Spot Metering mode,the camera measures the brightness of the subject. Spot

metering, because it only measures the light levels at the center of the image,

allows you obtain the correct exposure for backlit subjects since the exposure is

not affected by the background light. The light metering mode changes in the

cycle shown below each time you press the

(Spot/Macro) button.
