Shooting functions – Exposure, image and color

The metered exposure value can be locked with the
AEL
button (AE lock). Use AE lock when
you want a different exposure setting from the one that would normally apply under the current
shooting conditions. Normally, pressing the shutter button halfway locks both AF (auto focus)
and AE (automatic exposure), but you can lock the exposure alone by pressing the
AEL
button.
Press the
AEL
button at the position where you wish to lock
the metering values and the exposure will be locked. As the
exposure will be locked while the
AEL
button is being
pressed, press the shutter button.
•
Releasing the
AEL
button cancels AE lock.
•
Using the custom menu, you can set AE lock so that it is not
canceled when the
AEL
button is released.

The higher the ISO value, the greater the camera’s light sensitivity and the better its ability to
shoot in low light conditions. However, higher values may give pictures a grainy appearance.

Color reproduction differs depending on the light conditions. For instance, when daylight or
tungsten lighting is reflected on white paper, the shade of white produced will be slightly different
for each.
With a digital camera, white color can be adjusted to reproduce more natural white with a digital
processor. This mechanism is called white balance. There are 4 options for setting the WB with
this camera.
Auto white balance
This function enables the camera to automatically detect white in images and adjust the color
balance accordingly.
Use this mode for general use. If there is no near white color in the picture, the white balance of
the image may not be correct. In such a case, use preset WB or one-touch WB to achieve the
correct white balance.
