AE MeterAE stands for aperture exposure . This means that your exposure time will be adjusted according

to the aperture that you choose . Center - The meter concentrates towards the center . The balance is then “feathered” out towards

the edges .Average - Takes all lighting into consideration then chooses a setting, and auto chooses the best

aperture for the shortest exposure time .Spot - Uses a smaller area (1% - 5%) near the center to determine which aperture to use .

ContrastContrast is defined as the separation between the darkest and brightest areas of the image.

Adding contrast usually adds “pop” and makes an image look more vibrant while decreasing contrast can make an image look duller .

Soft - Decrease contrast and you bring the shadows up and the highlights down to make them closer to one another .

Standard - Default contrast setting .Hard - Increase contrast and you increase the separation between dark and bright, making

shadows darker and highlights brighter .

and after returning to the live preview the countdown begins .
