Guide to using the camera

Touching the point you want to set as the basis for the exposure

The exposure will be automatically set based on the brightness of a point you touch on the monitor.
You can fine-tune the brightness by sliding the brightness adjustment bar that appears on the monitor after touching it.
If you slide the brightness adjustment bar to the right, the overall image will brighten; if you slide it to the left, the overall image will darken.

During viewfinder shooting, touch the monitor while looking through the viewfinder and drag your finger to the position you want to set as the basis for the exposure. Exposure settings are made based on the brightness of the point where you lift your finger from the monitor.

* The brightness adjustment bar is not displayed during viewfinder shooting.

Touch the (touch AE cancel) icon or press the center of the control wheel to cancel the touch AE function.
