Metering
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 circumstance, rather use exposure compensation.
INFORMATION

You can adjust the sharpness of the picture you want 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. This menu is available in
every recording mode.
