• Use [Multi segment] metering for general shooting.
• When there is a high contrast subject in the AF area, measure the light of
the subject you want to shoot with the optimal exposure using the spot
metering function and take advantage of an AE lock shooting (page 108).
Note
• When the exposure mode is set to Auto Mode or Scene Selection, or when the zoom
feature of the camera is used, [Metering Mode] is fixed to [Multi segment] and you
cannot select other modes.
(Multi segment) This mode measures light on each area after dividing the total
area into multiple areas and determines the proper exposure
of the entire screen.
(Center weighted) While emphasizing the central area of the screen, this mode
measures the average brightness of the entire screen.
(Spot) This mode measures light only in the spot metering circle
located in the center area.
