Metering

Exposure metering measures the amount of light that strikes an object, to optimize exposure.

Exposure metering is automatically adjusted when taking photos and videos.
You can adjust the exposure manually in Manual mode, for example for a specific part of a photo.

  1. While using the camera, tap [Mode] > (Manual mode icon).
  2. Tap (Settings icon) > [Metering], and then select an exposure option.
  3. Close the settings menu.
    The setting is saved.
  4. Tap the shutter button to take a photo.

Note

  • This setting is only available for the main camera.
