lighting conditions throughout the image to
give an optimum picture exposure. Ideal for
general picture taking.
Center-weight —evaluates the
lighting conditions of the subject centered in
the viewfinder. Ideal for backlit subjects.

the metering spot.) Ideal when you need an
exact exposure of a specific area in the
picture.
