It is useful for shooting distant scenes. 5 Shooting Menu Pre-AF If [On] is selected when [Multi AF], [Face Pr. Tracking], [Spot AF], or [Multi-trgt AF] is selected for [Focus], the camera will continue to focus even when the shutter-release button is not pressed halfway. This may decrease the time needed to focus when a picture is taken, potentially improving shutter response. 73 Exposure Metering You can change the metering method (the range to use for metering) used to determine the exposure value. -- Multi The entire shooting range is divided into 256 partitions, and each is metered to determine the overall exposure value. Center The entire image is metered, with emphasis on the center, to determine the exposure value. Use this when the brightness of the center and surroundings are different. Spot Only the center of the image is metered to determine the exposure value. Use this setting when you want to use the brightness at the center. This is useful if there is a marked difference in contrast or backlighting. Image Settings You can change the picture quality of an image, including the contrast, sharpness, color and vividness. Vivid Take strong, vivid photos with higher contrast and sharpness and maximum vividness. Standard Creates an image with normal picture quality. Settings You can select from five [Contrast], [Sharpness], and [Vividness] levels. 5 Shooting Menu -- Black & White Creates a black and white picture. Noise Reduction Perform noise reduction when taking photographs. Choose from [Off ], [Auto], [Weak], [Strong], or [MAX]. The time required to record images varies with the option selected. 74 Flash Exposure Compensation You can adjust the light intensity of the flash.
