Procedure
REC mode * [MENU] * REC Tab * Memory
When you turn off the camera, it remembers the current settings of all enabled 
memory items and restores them when you turn it back on. Any memory item that is 
disabled will be returned to its initial default setting whenever you turn off the camera.
*Optical zoom setting only.
• If you turn the camera power off and then back on while the BEST SHOT memory 
item is enabled, all of the other memory items (except for zoom position) are 
initialized to the currently selected BEST SHOT sample scene setup, regardless of 
the enabled/disabled status of the other memory items.

Procedure
REC mode * [MENU] * Quality Tab * EV Shift
You can manually adjust an image’s exposure value (EV value) before shooting it.
• Exposure Compensation Range: –2.0 EV to +2.0 EV
• Unit: 1/3 EV
1.Use [8] and [2] to adjust the exposure compensation value.
To cancel exposure compensation, change the EV value to 0.0.
2.Press [SET].
This applies the exposure compensation value. The exposure compensation 
value you set remains in effect until you change it or turn off the camera (which 
causes it to revert to “0.0”).
NOTE
• When shooting under very dark or very bright conditions, you may not be able to 
obtain satisfactory results even after performing exposure compensation.
Procedure
REC mode * [MENU] * Quality Tab * White Balance
You can adjust white balance to match the source of light available where you are 
shooting and avoid the blue cast that results when shooting outdoors when it is 
cloudy, and the green cast that results when shooting under fluorescent lighting.
Correcting Image Brightness (EV Shift)
[8] : Increases the EV value. A higher EV 
value is best for light-colored subjects 
and backlit subjects.
[2] : Decreases the EV value. A lower EV 
value is best for dark-color subjects and 
for shooting outdoors on a clear day.

							84Advanced Settings
• When “Auto” is selected for the white balance setting, the camera automatically 
determines the white point of the subject. Certain subject colors and light source 
conditions can cause problems when the camera tries to determine the white point, 
which makes proper white balance adjustment impossible. If this happens, select 
the white balance setting that matches your shooting conditions (Daylight, 
Overcast, etc.)
Procedure
REC mode * [MENU] * Quality Tab * ISO
For details, see the Control Panel procedure on page 45.

Procedure
REC mode * [MENU] * Quality Tab * Metering
The metering mode determines what part of the subject is metered for exposure.
• The currently selected metering mode is indicated by an icon on the snapshot 
screen. No icon is displayed when “B Multi” is selected as the metering mode.
Procedure
REC mode * [MENU] * Quality Tab * Lighting
You can use this setting to optimize the balance between bright areas and dark areas 
when shooting images.
• You also can optimize the balance between bright areas and dark areas in existing 
images (page 101).
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)
ExtraPerforms a higher level of brightness correction than the “On” setting. 
When this option is selected, it takes longer for the image to be stored 
after the shutter button is pressed.
OnPerforms brightness correction.
OffDoes not perform brightness correction.
