Shooting techniques
When shooting images, the camera 
automatically sets the exposure.
When shooting a whitish overall image 
such as a backlit subject or a snowy 
scene, the camera may judge that the 
subject is bright and set a darker exposure 
for the image. In such cases, adjusting 
the exposure in the + (plus) direction is 
effective.

When shooting a dark subject that fills 
the frame, the camera may judge that the 
subject is dark and set a brighter exposure 
for the image. In such cases, adjusting 
the exposure in the – (minus) direction is 
effective.

Refer to the histogram and adjust so that 
the image is not overexposed (white out) or 
underexposed (black out).

Try various images with different 
exposures to find the brightness that suits 
your taste.

You can select the metering mode that sets 
which part of the subject to measure to 
determine the exposure.

The image is divided into multiple regions 
and metering is performed for each region. 
The camera judges the subject position and 
background brightness, and determines a 
well-balanced exposure.
The factory setting is the multi-pattern 
metering.

Metering is performed for only a part of 
the subject. This lets you shoot images 
that are not too dark even when the subject 
is backlit, or adjust the exposure to the 
subject when there is strong contrast 
between the subject and the background.
