Metering determines how the camera sets exposure.
Settings can be adjusted using [Metering] in the video recording menu.
 The option currently selected is shown in the shooting display.
■ Metering Options
L
[Matrix metering]
The camera meters a wide area of the frame and sets exposure according to tone distribution, color,
composition, and distance for results close to those seen by the naked eye.
M
[Center-weighted
metering]
The camera assigns the greatest weight to the center of the frame. This mode can, for example, be used
with subjects that dominate the composition.
t
[Highlight-weighted
metering]
The camera assigns the greatest weight to highlights. Use this option to reduce loss of detail in high-
lights, for example when photographing spotlit performers on stage.
Spot Metering
Spot metering cannot be used to record videos.
Extended Shutter Speeds (Mode M)Extended Shutter Speeds (Mode M)
Extend the range of shutter speeds available in mode M.
When [ON] is selected for Custom Setting g11 [Extended shutter speeds
(mode M)], the shutter speed for frame rates of 60p to 24p can be set as
slow as ¼s.
 Extended shutter speeds help keep ISO sensitivity low for shots of the
night sky and other dark subjects.
 Videos recorded at slow shutter speeds when [ON] is selected will
include repeated multiple copies of the same frames.
 Videos recorded at slow shutter speeds when [ON] is selected may be
jerky or blurred. We recommend mounting the camera on a tripod
when lming landscapes and other static subjects.
