[. . . ] It is recommended for situations where there is a slight difference in brightness between a subject and a background or an area of the subject is large compared to the overall composition of the photo. Spot The Spot mode calculates the amount of light in the center. When you capture a photo in conditions where there is a strong backlight behind a subject, the camera adjusts the exposure so as to shoot a subject correctly. For example, when you select the Multi mode in a strong backlight condition, the camera calculates that the overall amount of light is abundant, which results in a darker photo. The Spot mode can prevent this situation as it calculates the amount of light in a designated area. The subject is in bright color while the background is dark. The Spot mode is recommended for a situation like this where a huge difference in the exposure exists between a subject and a background. 80 Shooting Functions > Metering Measuring the exposure value of the focus area When this function is turned on, the camera automatically sets an optimal exposure by calculating the brightness of the focus area.

Examples Original When red is selected 83 Shooting Functions Color space Digital imaging devices such as digital cameras, monitors, and printers have their own methods for representing colors, which are called color spaces. Adobe RGB Your camera lets you select two color spaces: sRGB or Adobe RGB. sRGB is widely used for creating colors on PC monitors and is also the standard color space for Exif. sRGB is recommended for regular images and images you intend to publish on the Internet. Adobe RGB is used for commercial printing and has a larger color range than sRGB. Its wider range of colors helps you to easily edit photos on a computer. Note that individual programs are generally compatible with a limited number of color spaces. If you open an image in a program that is not compatible with the image’s color space, the colors will appear lighter. To set the color space, In Shooting mode, press [m] → L → Color Space → an option. sRGB 84 Shooting Functions Exposure compensation/lock Exposure compensation The camera automatically sets the exposure by measuring the levels of light from the photo’s composition and the position of a subject. If the exposure set by the camera is higher or lower than you expected, you can adjust the exposure value manually. The camera displays the exposure warning in red for each step beyond ±3 range. To adjust the exposure value, press [I], and then rotate the navigation button. You can also adjust the exposure value by pressing [f], and then selecting EVC (Exposure Value Compensation). You can check the exposure value by the position of the exposure level indicator.
