Taking Pictures using Spot Mode

When using Spot mode the size of the area used to calculate the focus and

exposure is decreased. It is useful when you may be shooting through a group of

people and want to designate where in the group the camera will calculate the

exposure.

Preparation

• Set the mode dial except for [ ]/[ ]/[ ]. (P29)

1 Select [SPOT MODE] and set it to

[ON].

• Close the menu by pressing the

[MENU] button after finishing the

setting.

2 Aim the spot AF area to the

subject and press the shutter

button halfway for the AF/AE lock.

• The spot AF area 1 and spot

metering target 2 appear.

3 Move the camera to compose the

picture fixing the focus on the

subject and take the picture.

• You can set suitable AF/AE in more

limited areas.

Suggestions/Tips

• When the subject is dark, it may not be

focused properly.

• Background may become dark or

whitish depending on the subject

because the exposure is set

appropriately in the spot AF area.
