occur (the shutter speed is set slower than 1/50). If this mark is
displayed, please use the flash (P.85) or a tripod.
x If
the appropriate shutter speed is outside the range of suitable
combinations due to the subject being too bright or too dark, the
shutter speed indicator will blink. If the subject is too bright, set the
aperture value to a smaller one (larger F-number). If the subject is
too dark, set the aperture value to a larger one (smaller F-number)
until the indicator stops blinking.
45
S SHUTTER SPEED PRIORITY AE
When you set the desired shutter speed, the camera will select the
appropriate aperture value for correct exposure. You can achieve stop

ADVANCED OPERATION
This section explains the application of the more advanced
functions of your camera, when composing the expressions of
your picture.

SETTING THE WHITE BALANCE (WB)
The color of light reflected by an object can vary depending on the color
of the light source illuminating it.
For example, a neutral colored object will reflect reddish light under
incandescent lighting, and greenish light under fluorescent lighting. The
human brain is able to compensate for differences in the color of a light
source, allowing us to see white objects as white, independent of the
lighting condition. Film cameras rely on special color-correcting filters
and film types to adjust for these differences in lighting. Digital cameras,
however, are able to use software to mimic the adjustments made by the
brain, so that colors that appear white to the human eye also appear
white in your photographs.

EVALUATIVE METERING
The camera divides its screen into 256 and measures the brightness of
the scene by independently measuring each segment of the focusing
screen and analyzing the correct exposure for the main subject under
any lighting situation. Even under strong back lighting or complex
lighting situations, the camera will give you the correct exposure.
CENTER WEIGHTED AVERAGE METERING
The camera will measure the average brightness of the entire scene with
additional emphasis on the center area. It will determine the most
suitable exposure with respect to lighting conditions.
SPOT METERING
The camera will measure the brightness only inside of the selected
focusing point on the color LCD monitor. This mode is suitable when you
wish to set exposure for a portion of the scene and ignore the influence
of rest of the scene.

HISTOGRAM
The histogram is a graph depicting the distribution of brightness values
in the image for each of the three color channels (Red, Green, and Blue)
(The histogram displayed in the Shooting Mode is the distribution of
tones in the image). The horizontal axis shows the brightness level, with
darker pixels towards the left side and brighter pixels toward the right.
The vertical axis shows the proportion of pixels at each level of
brightness.
By examining the histogram of the full image, you can gauge the overall
exposure of that image. You can also use the histogram to determine if
zoomed-in sections of an image are over or under exposed.
This histogram shows that the higher pixel
values are never used in the image,
indicating that the image is underexposed,
and therefore will appear dark. In general,
when the histogram is higher on the left side,
the image is mostly composed of dark pixels,
causing it to appear dark—either because
the image is underexposed or because it is
a dark scene such as night shot or sunset.
This histogram shows a fairly even
distribution of pixel values, indicating that
the image is well exposed, with good
contrast.
However,
the
histogram
distribution of a well exposed image will
vary greatly depending on the subject.
This histogram shows that many of the
pixel values are at their brightness limit,
indicating that some areas of the image
may be blown out. In general, when the
histogram runs off the right side, the
image will have many white pixels—either
because the image is overexposed or
because it is a bright scene such as the
beach or snow.
