increasing the ISO sensitivity. Also, if you want to take a bright image even in dark

Metering
This function automatically determines a well-balanced exposure by measuring the
amount of light striking the image you want to capture.

Multi
Divides the image into multiple regions, and measures each region to determine a well-balanced exposure.

there.
Spot
Adjusts the exposure in a very small part of the image that you want to capture.

backlight. The following options are available when you tap the flash icon on the

Fill flash
Use this setting when the background is brighter than the subject. This setting removes unwanted dark
shadows.

Off
The flash is turned off. Sometimes photo quality can be better without the flash, even if lighting
conditions are poor. Taking a good photo without using the flash requires a steady hand. Use the self-
timer to avoid blurred photos.
Flashlight
The flash shines continuously while taking pictures.
Scene Selection
Use the Scene Selection feature to quickly set up the camera for common situations
using pre-programmed scenes. The camera determines a number of settings for you to
fit the selected scene, ensuring the best possible photo.
