Shooting Functions
The metering mode refers to the way in which a camera measures the
quantity of light.
The camera measures the amount of light in a scene, and in many of its
modes, uses the measurement to adjust various settings. For example,
if a subject looks darker than its actual color, the camera takes an
overexposed photo of it. If a subject looks lighter than its actual color,
the camera takes an underexposed photo of it.
The brightness and overall mood of the photo can also be affected by
how the camera measures the amount of light. Select an appropriate
setting for a shooting condition.

Spot
The Spot mode calculates the amount of light in the center. When you
take a photo in conditions where there is a strong backlight behind
a subject, the camera adjusts the exposure so as to shoot a subject
correctly. For example, when you select the Multi mode in a strong
backlight condition, the camera calculates that the overall amount of
light is abundant, which results in a darker photo. The Spot mode can
prevent this situation as it calculates the amount of light in a designated
area.
Metering
The subject is in bright color while the background is dark. The Spot
mode is recommended for a situation like this where a huge difference in
the exposure exists between a subject and a background.

When this function is turned on, the camera automatically sets an
