Adjusting Exposure Manually - Canon Vistura User Manual

Adjusting Exposure Manually

The camera adjusts the exposure
automatically, making sure that your
E
pictures are neither too dark nor too
light. There is a choice of eight
recording programs to deal with
different recording conditions
(see p. 40).
This section explains how to use three
more exposure functions. These will
give you added control over your
recordings.
FlexiZone AE
The camera attempts to balance
exposure for the whole scene. With
FlexiZone AE you can choose which
area of the scene to base exposure on, to
ensure your subject is properly exposed
— whether very dark or bright and
wherever it is in the frame.
1. Choose the FlexiZone recording program.
• The FlexiZone control frame appears in the display.
2. Use the FlexiZone controller to move the frame over the subject.
• The controller can be moved in any direction.
3. Press the EXP. button to lock the exposure.
• The camera adjusts the exposure to suit the area that is currently inside the
frame. You can move the frame to focus on something else, but the exposure
area will not move with it.
• E. LOCK appears in the display.
4. Press the button again when you want to cancel FlexiZone AE.
• The exposure is now adjusted to suit the centre of the screen again.
• Press the button once more if you want to adjust the exposure for the frame's
new position.
