* Standard exposure levels are calculated by measuring light according to the currently selected metering mode.
If you wish to change the exposure, select shutter speed or aperture using the button, then adjust the value using the or button. If the zoom is adjusted after these values are set, the aperture value may change in accordance with the zoom position (p. 40). The LCD monitors brightness matches the selected shutter speed and aperture value. When you select a fast shutter speed or shoot a subject in a dark place, the image will always be bright if the flash is set to (Flash on).

Selecting an AF Frame

* Cannot be set in mode.
The AF frame indicates the area of the composition on which the camera focuses. You can set the AF frame in the following ways.
You can have the camera automatically detect the position of a face and use this data to set the focus and exposure* while shooting. In addition, the camera will meter the subject so that the face is correctly illuminated when the flash fires. If a face is not detected, shooting will take place with [On].
* Only in evaluative metering mode (p. 48).

Face Detect

The camera automatically selects between 9 AF frames to focus on according to the shooting conditions. The camera focuses using the center AF frame. This is convenient for making sure the focus is exactly where you want it.
