Choose how the camera meters exposure when 
Intelligent Face Detection is off.
•  o MULTI : Automatic scene recognition is used 
to adjust exposure for a wide range of shooting 
conditions.
•  p SPOT : The camera meters lighting conditions 
at the center of the frame.  Recommended when 
the background is much brighter or darker than 
the main subject.  Can be used with focus lock 
( P  37) to meter off-center subjects.
•  q AVERAGE : Exposure is set to the average for 
the entire frame.  Provides consistent exposure 
across multiple shots with the same lighting, 
and is particularly effective for landscapes and 
portraits of subjects dressed in black or white.

( P  35).  Regardless of the option selected, the cam-
era will focus on the subject in the center of the 
monitor when macro mode is on ( P 39).
•  r  CENTER : The camera focuses on the subject in 
the center of the frame.  This option can be used 
with focus lock ( P 37).
•  s  MULTI : When the shutter button is pressed

jects near the center of the frame and selects

battery).

subject in the center focus 
area and press the selector 
left to select tracking. Focus 
will track the subject as it 
moves through the frame.
