• The metering mode is fixed to [Multi] when you touch the screen to select the point to bring into focus.
(Multi) Divides into multiple regions and measures each region. The
camera determines a well-balanced exposure (Multi-pattern
metering). When Face Detection is set to other than [When
touched], the setting is fixed to [Multi].
(Center) Measures the center of the image, and determines the exposure
based on the brightness of the subject there (Center-weighted
metering).
(Spot) Measures only a part of the subject
(Spot metering).
• This function is useful when the subject is
backlit or when there is strong contrast
between the subject and the background.
