For clean, good-quality images, use the lowest ISO sensitivity setting possible. · Using a high ISO sensitivity setting along with the flash to shoot a nearby subject may result in improper illumination of the subject. · "Auto" ISO sensitivity always is used in the following cases, regardless of the current ISO sensitivity setting. Movie mode, MOVIE BEST SHOT mode NOTE · You can use the key customization feature (page 137) to configure the camera so the ISO sensitivity setting changes whenever you press [ ] and [ ] while in a REC mode.

Use [ ] and [ ] to select the setting you want, and then press [SET]. 143 OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS Multi (Multi pattern) Multi (Multi pattern) metering divides the image into sections and measures the light in each section for a balanced exposure reading. The camera automatically determines shooting conditions according to the measured lighting pattern, and makes exposure settings accordingly. This type of metering provides error-free exposure settings for a wide range of shooting conditions. Center Weighted Center weighted metering measures light concentrating on the center of the focus area. Use this metering method when you want to exert some control over exposure, without leaving settings totally up to the camera. Spot Spot metering takes readings at a very small area. Use this metering method when you want exposure to be set according to the brightness of a particular subject, without it being affected by surrounding conditions. · When "Multi" is selected as the metering mode, certain procedures cause the metering mode setting to change automatically as described below. · Changing the exposure compensation setting (page 88) to a value other than 0. 0 changes the metering mode setting to "Center Weighted. " The metering mode changes back to "Multi" when you return the exposure compensation setting to 0. 0. · When "Multi" is selected, the icon is not displayed when you return to the REC modes information display (page 29). 144 OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS Using the Filter Function The camera's filter function lets you alter the tint of an image when you record it.
