  Exposure Value (EV) Exposure Value (EV)
The exposure value is determined by the sensitiv-
ity of the image sensor and the amount of light to 
which the sensor is exposed.  Doubling the amount 
increases EV by one, while halving it reduces EV by 
one.  The amount of light entering the camera can be 
controlled by adjusting aperture and shutter speed.

•  Backlit subjects: Choose values 
from +2

• Highly refl ective subjects or very 
bright scenes (e.g., snowfi elds) : +1 EV
• Scenes that are mostly sky : +1 EV
•  Spotlit subjects (particularly if photographed against dark back-
grounds) : –2

 Metering Metering
To choose how the camera meters exposure, press the AE button 
to display metering options.  Use the selector to highlight an op-
tion and press AE to select.
ModeModeDescriptionDescription
oo(MULTI)(MULTI) The camera instantly determines exposure based on an analysis of 
composition, color, and brightness distribution.  Recommended in 
most situations.
pp(SPOT)(SPOT)The camera meters lighting conditions in an area at the center of the 
frame equivalent to 2% of the total.  Recommended with backlit sub-
jects and in other cases in which the background is much brighter or 
darker than the main subject.
qq(AVERAGE)(AVERAGE) Exposure is set to the average for the entire frame.  Provides consistent 
exposure across multiple shots with the same lighting, and is particu-
larly eff ective for landscapes and portraits of subjects dressed in black 
or white.
