(Multi)
Divides into multiple regions and measures each region. The
camera determines a well-balanced exposure (Multi-pattern
metering).
(Center)
Measures the center of the image, and determines the exposure
based on the brightness of the subject there (Center-weighted
metering).
(Spot)
Measures only a part of the subject
(Spot metering). This function is useful
when the subject is backlit or when
there is strong contrast between the
subject and the background.
