Selecting the metering area
In a backlight situation, your subject may appear dark if the picture is taken
with the normal metering value (Digital ESP metering). In this case, by
changing the metering area to the center of the screen (Spot metering), the
subject can be shot with optimal exposure regardless of the background light.
ESP (No indication): Meters the center of the screen and the area around it
separately to obtain the optimum exposure.
Spot metering (
): Meters only the center of the screen to obtain the
appropriate exposure for the subject.
