and 15% (DCS 560) of the central picture area
3) Fine spot metering covers approximately 6% (DCS
520) and 4% (DCS 560) of the central picture area. In
continuous exposure mode, first frame metered in real
time, second and successive frames shot at same
settings (AE lock).
4) Spot metering covers approximately 9% (DCS 520) and
6% (DCS 560) of the picture area at each AF frame
