desired mode

(Multi)

Divides into multiple regions and measures each region. The camera

determines a well-balanced exposure (Multi-pattern metering).

(Center)

Measures the center of the image, and determines the exposure based on the

brightness of the subject there (Center-weighted metering).

(Spot)

Align the spot metering cross hairs (A) on the subject to meter one 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.

Notes

If you set [Metering Mode] to other than [Multi], the Face Detection function cannot be used.
You may not be able to set some MENU items depending on the selected REC mode. For
