OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS
Selecting the Metering Mode
Use the following procedure to specify multi-pattern
metering, spot metering, or center-weighted metering as
the metering mode.
1. In the REC mode, press [MENU].
2. Select the “REC” tab, select “Metering”, and
then press [
̈].
3. Use [
̆] and [̄] to select the setting you
want, and then press [SET].
Multi (Multi-pattern)
Multi-pattern metering divides the image
into sections and measures the light in
each section for a balanced exposure
reading. The camera automatically
determines shooting conditions
according to the measured lighting
pattern, and makes exposure settings
accordingly. This type of metering
provides error-free exposure settings for
a wide range of shooting conditions.
Center weighted
Center weighted metering measures
light concentrating on the center of the
focus area. Use this metering method
when you want to exert some control
over exposure, without leaving settings
totally up to the camera.
Spot
Spot metering takes readings at a very
small area. Use this metering method
when you want exposure to be set
according to the brightness of a
particular subject, without it being
affected by surrounding conditions.
