Use Pro Mode to Shoot Like a Pro

Shoot to Stun, with Pro Mode



The figures are for reference only.

  2. From there, you can:

    • Adjust the metring mode: Touch M and select a metring mode.

      Metring mode

      Overview

      Matrix

      Measures light across the entire frame; ideal for shooting natural landscapes.

      Centre

      Focuses on light near the centre of the screen; ideal for shooting portraits.

      Spot

      Focuses on light from a specific region, such as a subject's eyes.

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

      In low-light settings, you'll generally want to increase the ISO sensitivity. In well-lit settings, you'll want to reduce it to avoid image noise.

    • 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.

    • Adjust EV exposure compensation: Touch EV· and drag the slider.

      It's recommended that you increase the EV value in low-light environments, and decrease it in well-lit environments.

    • Adjust the focus: Touch AF· and select a focus mode.
