Metering Sharpness
If you cannot obtain suitable exposure conditions, you can change the 
metering method to take brighter pictures.
[Multi] :   Exposure will be calculated based on 
an average of the available light in the 
image area. However, the calculation 
will be biased towards the centre of the 
image area. This is suitable for general 
use.
[Spot] :   Only the rectangular area in the centre 
of the LCD monitor will be metered for light. This is suitable 
when the subject in the centre is exposed correctly, regardless 
of the back lighting.
Ä
If the subject is not the centre of the focus area, do not use the spot 
metering as this may result in an exposure error. In this circum-
stance, it is better to use exposure compensation.
METERING
Multi
You can adjust the sharpness of the picture 
you are about to take. You cannot check the 
sharpness effect on the LCD monitor before you 
take a picture, because this function is applied 
only when the captured image is stored on the 
memory.
Sharpness
Normal
[Soft+]/ [Soft]  :  The edges of the image are softened. This effect is
suitable for editing images on your PC.
[Normal] :  The edges of the image are sharp.
This is suitable for printing.
[Vivid]/ [Vivid+] :  The edges of the image are emphasized.
The edges will appear sharp, but noise may occur in the 
recorded image.

White balance 
The white balance control allows you to adjust 
the colours to appear more natural.
ISO
 [Auto] :  The cameras sensitivity is automati-
cally changed by variables such as 
lighting value or subject brightness.
[ISO 80, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1000 ] :
You can increase the shutter speed while the 
same amount of light is present, by increasing 
the ISO sensitivity. However, the image may 
be saturated in high luminance. 
The higher the ISO value, the higher the camera’s sensitivity to light 
and therefore the greater its capacity to take pictures in dark condi-
tions. However, the noise level in the image will increase as the ISO 
value increases, making the image appear coarse. You can select the ISO sensitivity when taking pictures.
The speed or specifi c light-sensitivity of a camera is rated by ISO num-
bers.
