     Metering mode	Overview
     Matrix	Measures light across the entire frame; ideal for shooting natural landscapes.

   • Adjust the ISO sensitivity: Touch ISO and drag the slider.

   • Adjust the shutter speed: Touch S and drag the slider.

     The shutter speed determines the amount of light that is able to enter the camera lens. When shooting stationary scenes or portraits, it's recommended that you use a slower shutter speed. Likewise, when shooting fast-moving scenes or objects, you'll want to increase the shutter speed.
