Metering
If you cannot obtain suitable exposure conditions, you can change 
the metering method to take brighter pictures.
[Multi] :
Exposure will be 
calculated based on an 
average of the available 
light in the image area. 
However, the calculation 
will be biased towards 
the centre of the image 
area. This is suitable for general use.
[Spot] :
Only the rectangular area in the centre of the LCD 
monitor will be metered for light. This is suitable 
when the subject in the centre is exposed correctly, 
regardless of the back lighting.
[Center We ighted]: Exposure will be calculated based on an average
of the available light in the image area. However, 
the calculation will be biased towards the centre 
of the image area. This is suitable for taking a 
picture of small object like a fl ower or insects.
Ä
If the subject is not the centre of the focus area, do not use the
spot metering as this may result in an exposure error. In this 
circumstance, it is better to use exposure compensation.
