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.

Metering
The default metering mode is Multi pattern metering.
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.
