Shooting Functions9090Shooting FunctionsShooting FunctionsIn order to capture a realistic photo of a subject, the amount of light should be constant. When the light source varies, you can use a ash and supply a constant amount of light. Select appropriate settings according to a light source and a subject.To set ash options, In Shooting mode, press [m] → 1 → Flash → an option.Icon DescriptionO: Do not use the ash.Smart Flash: The camera automatically adjusts the brightness of the ash according to the amount of light in the surrounding environment.Auto: The ash automatically res in dark places.Auto Red-eye: The ash automatically res and reduces red-eyes.Fill in: The ash res whenever you capture a photo. (Brightness is automatically adjusted.)Fill-in Red: The ash res whenever you capture a photo and reduces red-eyes.Icon Description1st Curtain: The ash res immediately after the shutter opens.

92Shooting Functions > Flash• You can also drag the slider or touch +/- to adjust the intensity.• Adjusting the flash intensity may not be eective when: -the subject is too close to the camera -you set a high ISO sensitivity -the exposure value is too big or too small• In some shooting modes, you cannot use this function.• If you attach an intensity-adjustable external ash to the camera, the intensity settings of the ash will be applied. • If the subject is too close when you use the ash, some light may be blocked, resulting in a dark photo. Ensure that the subject is within the recommended range, which varies by lens.• When a lens hood is attached, the light from the ash can be blocked by the hood. Remove the hood to use the ash.
Shooting Functions9393Shooting FunctionsShooting FunctionsThe metering mode refers to the way in which a camera measures the quantity of light.The camera measures the amount of light in a scene, and in many of its modes, uses the measurement to adjust various settings. For example, if a subject looks darker than its actual color, the camera captures an overexposed photo of it. If a subject looks lighter than its actual color, the camera captures an underexposed photo of it.The brightness and overall mood of the photo can also be aected by how the camera measures the amount of light. Select an appropriate setting for a shooting condition.To set a metering option, In Shooting mode, press [m] → 1 → Metering → an option.MultiThe Multi mode calculates the amount of light in multiple areas. When light is sucient or insucient, the camera adjusts the exposure by averaging the overall brightness of the scene. This mode is suitable for general photos.Metering
94Shooting Functions > MeteringSpotThe Spot mode calculates the amount of light in the center. When you capture a photo in conditions where there is a strong backlight behind a subject, the camera adjusts the exposure so as to shoot a subject correctly. For example, when you select the Multi mode in a strong backlight condition, the camera calculates that the overall amount of light is abundant, which results in a darker photo. The Spot mode can prevent this situation as it calculates the amount of light in a designated area.The subject is in bright color while the background is dark. The Spot mode is recommended for a situation like this where a huge dierence in the exposure exists between a subject and a background.Center-weightedThe Center-weighted mode calculates a broader area than the Spot mode does. It sums up the amount of light in the center portion of the shot (60–80 %) and that of the rest of the shot (20–40 %). It is recommended for situations where there is a slight dierence in brightness between a subject and a background or an area of the subject is large compared to the overall composition of the photo.
95Shooting Functions > MeteringMeasuring the exposure value of the focus area When this function is turned on, the camera automatically sets an optimal exposure by calculating the brightness of the focus area. This function is only available when you select Spot metering or Multi metering, and Selection AF.To set this function, In Shooting mode, press [m] → 1 → Link AE to AF Point → an option.
