SPOT METER
Spot Meter is good for filming into a setting where the lighting is
different from where you are, such as filming the outdoors from within
a car or a shaded environment while standing in the sun. Spot Meter
automatically sets the exposure based on a single spot in the middle
of the image. When Spot Meter is turned on, [
] appears on the
camera status screen. The options for this setting are Off (default)
and On.
UPSIDE DOWN
If you mount your camera upside down, you might have to rotate the
files during editing. This setting eliminates the need to flip your video
or photos after capture when the camera is mounted upside down.
The default setting is Up.
