[Average]
The entire screen is metered by averaging.

A stable exposure can be achieved even in a

capture environment where there are notable

brightness differences within the screen.

Use this mode to stabilize the exposure in locations

where vehicles or people are moving.

[Spot]
The center of the screen is metered.

An appropriate exposure can be achieved for the

subject at the center of the screen regardless of the

brightness/darkness on the periphery of the screen.

Use this mode if you want to adjust the exposure to

the center of the screen because the subject is

receiving a spotlight or backlight, etc.
