You can turn on the camera’s Anti Shake feature to reduce image blur due to subject 
movement or camera movement when shooting a moving subject using telephoto, 
when shooting a fast-moving subject, or when shooting under dim lighting conditions.
NOTE
• Only camera shake correction can be used during FHD and STD movie recording.
• Camera shake correction is not supported during High Speed Movie recording.
• ISO sensitivity, aperture, and shutter speed do not appear on the monitor screen 
when you half-press the shutter button while “A On” is selected. These values will 
appear briefly, however, in the preview image that is displayed immediately after 
you shoot a snapshot.

coarser than normal and can cause slight deterioration of image resolution.
• Anti Shake may not be able to eliminate the effects of camera or subject movement 
when movement is severe.
• Anti Shake may not work properly when the camera is mounted on a tripod. Turn 
off Anti Shake.

Procedure
[r] (REC) * [MENU] * Quality Tab * MeteringThe metering mode determines what part of the subject is metered for exposure.
Procedure
[r] (REC) * [MENU] * Quality Tab * Lighting
You can use this setting to optimize the balance between bright areas and dark areas 
when shooting images.
Specifying the Metering Mode (Metering)
 MultiMulti-pattern metering divides the image into sections and measures 
the light in each section for a balanced exposure reading. This type 
of metering provides error-free exposure settings for a wide range of 
shooting conditions.
 Center 
WeightedCenter weighted metering concentrates on the center of the focus 
area to measure light. This type of metering is best when you want 
some level of control over contrast.
 SpotSpot metering takes readings at a very small area. Use this metering 
method when you want exposure to be set according to the 
brightness of a particular subject, without being affected by 
surrounding conditions.
Optimizing Image Brightness (Lighting)
OnPerforms brightness correction. When this option is selected, it takes 
longer for the image to be stored after the shutter button is pressed.
OffDoes not perform brightness correction.
