MeteringMetering
Metering determines how the camera sets exposure.
Settings can be adjusted using [Metering] in the video recording menu.
 The option currently selected is shown in the shooting display.
■ Metering Options
L
[Matrix metering]
The camera meters a wide area of the frame and sets exposure according to tone distribution, color,
composition, and distance for results close to those seen by the naked eye.
M
[Center‑weighted
metering]
The camera assigns the greatest weight to the center of the frame. This mode can, for example, be used
with subjects that dominate the composition.
t
[Highlight‑weighted
metering]
The camera assigns the greatest weight to highlights. Use this option to reduce loss of detail in high-
lights, for example when photographing spotlit performers on stage.
Spot Metering
Spot metering cannot be used to record videos.
W W Extended Shutter Speeds (Mode M)Extended Shutter Speeds (Mode M)
Extend the range of shutter speeds available in mode M.
When [ON] is selected for Custom Setting g9 [Extended shutter speeds
(mode M)], the shutter speed for frame rates of 60p to 24p can be set as
slow as ¼s.
 Extended shutter speeds help keep ISO sensitivity low for shots of the
night sky and other dark subjects.
 Videos recorded at slow shutter speeds when [ON] is selected will
include repeated multiple copies of the same frames.
 Videos recorded at slow shutter speeds when [ON] is selected may be
jerky or blurred. We recommend mounting the camera on a tripod
when lming landscapes and other static subjects.
