Use the Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) function to minimize camera \
shake. OIS may not be available with some lenses.
Camera shake tends to occur in dark places or when shooting indoors. 
In such cases, the camera uses slower shutter speeds in order to 
increase the amount of light taken in, which can result in a blurry photo. 
You can prevent this situation by using the OIS function.
If your lens has an OIS switch, you have to set the switch to ON to use 
the OIS function.
To set OIS 
options, In Shooting mode, press [m] → K or k →  
OIS 
→ an option.

The 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 affected 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 [f] → Metering → an option.
Multi
The Multi mode calculates the amount of light in multiple areas. When 
light is sufficient or insufficient, the camera adjusts the exposure by 
averaging the overall brightness of the scene. This mode is suitable for\
 
general photos.
