Samsung S860 ユーザーズマニュアル

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.
