Spot Metering
(Placing Exposure Priority
on the Center of the Subject)
If a shot is backlit, ordinary photometric settings (digital ESP metering)
will make the subject appear too dark. To compensate for this, switch
the camera over to the spot metering mode in the shooting menu. This
feature is used to obtain the right exposure regardless of backlighting.
For operating instructions see “Using the Shooting Menu” (p.72).

ESP (Digital ESP metering):

Exposure will be calculated based on
an average of the light available in
the image area. However, the
calculation will be biased to the
center of the image area.
SPOT (Spot metering):
Adjust the light metering at the center
only. The center will yield the best
exposure results in this mode.
