D 9. Metering Modes
Three metering modes are provided: evaluative, partial, and
centerweighted averaging. Set the metering mode which suits the subject.
Turn the metering mode lever to the
desired metering mode. The metering
mode symbols are explained below.
[^: Evaluative metering
This is a general-purpose metering
mode
suitable
even
for
backlit
subjects.
The
subject’s
position,
brightness, background, front lighting,
backlighting, and other conditions are
detected at the focusing point. A
suitable exposure setting is thereby
determined.
• During manual focus, evaluative metering is
linked to the center focusing point.
tni: Partial metering
About 9.5% of the viewfinder is
metered at the center. This mode is
effective for subjects within a bright
background.
•
With
Custom
Function
No.
COS,
partial
metering
can
be
linked
to
the
selected
focusing point so that the area around the
selected focusing point is metered. See page
81
•
The partial metering area for each focusing
point is shown by segments SI, SO, and S2
respectively
□: Centerweighted averaging metering
The metering is weighted at the center and then averaged for the entire
scene.
