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 viewfinder screen (Spot
metering), a subject can be shot with optimal exposure regardless of the
background light.
ESP (Digital ESP) : Meters the center of the viewfinder and the area
around it separately to obtain the optimum
exposure.
(Spot metering) : Meters only the center of the viewfinder to obtain
the appropriate exposure for the subject.
