0LCD Panel Illumination

To illuminate the LCD panel, press the
<0> button. To turn off the illumination,
press the button again. The illumination
will turn off when you press the shutter
button halfway.

The camera has three metering modes: Evaluative, partial, and
centerweighted average metering.

This is the camera’s standard metering mode suited
for most subjects even under backlit conditions.
After detecting the main subject’s position,
brightness, background, front and back lighting
conditions, camera orientation (horizontal or
vertical), etc., the camera sets the proper exposure.

This is set automatically during AE lock in the
Creative Zone modes.
This is particularly effective when the background is
much brighter than the subject due to backlighting,
etc. This method uses a center area of
approximately 9% of the screen.

•

 The area covered by partial metering is shown on

the left.

This is set automatically in the <W> mode.
The metering is weighted at the center and then
averaged for the entire scene.
