[Light Metering] [Backlight], [Standard], [Spotlight]
Selects the light metering mode (A 38).
[Backlight]: Suitable when shooting backlit scenes.
[Standard]: Averages the light metered from the entire screen, giving more
weight to the subject in the center.
[Spotlight]: Use this option when shooting a scene in which only a certain part of
the picture is lit, for example, when the subject is lit by a spotlight.
[AE Shift] [+2.0], [+1.75], [+1.5], [+1.25], [+1.0], [+0.75], [+0.5], [+0.25], [±0], [-0.25], [-0.5],
[-0.75], [-1.0], [-1.25], [-1.5], [-1.75], [-2.0]
You can compensate the exposure obtained automatically (camera modes
other than [Manual], or while using push auto iris with the camera mode set to
[Manual]), in order to darken or lighten the image (A 37).
[AE Response] [High], [Normal], [Low]
Determines how quickly the aperture changes during auto exposure (camera
modes other than [Manual], or while using push auto iris with the camera mode set
to [Manual]).
[AGC Limit] j[Off (75dB)] to [36dB] (in 3-dB increments)
i[Off (56dB)], [54dB] to [30dB] (in 3-dB increments)

mode other than [Manual] (A 39).
[Auto Slow Shutter] [On], [Off]
Determines the shutter speed used when the camera mode is set to [Auto] or

slower than the frame rate currently used.
