[. . . ] · Only use the batteries specified in this instruction manual. · Do not install the batteries with the polarity (+/­) reversed. · Do not use batteries which show wear or damage. · Do not expose batteries to fire, high temperatures, water, or moisture. [. . . ] Usually the camera employs center-weighted metering, which averages the light values of the entire scene with emphasis on the central area of the image. Spot metering uses a smaller area within the image to calculate the exposure. This metering mode is less influenced by extremely bright or dark areas at the edge of the scene. SLOW SHUTTER The shutter control range is between 1/2000 and 1/8 second. With the flash mode set to flash cancel (p. 19) or when using one of the subject programs (p. 20), turning the slow-shutter function on with the multi-function recording menu (p. 24), extends the shutter control range: 1/2000 to 2 seconds. The extended shutter-speed range of the slow-shutter function allows greater detail to be recorded in very dark conditions. However, because of longer shutter speeds, the camera should be mounted on a tripod to ensure sharp pictures. LCD MONITOR BRIGHTNESS The brightness of the LCD monitor can be set in seven levels. After selecting the LCD brightness option on the multifunction recording menu (p. 24), the LCD brightness screen will be displayed. · To exit the enlarged playback, press the controller. · Enlarged images are framed with a blue border.
