▸ Select Exposure Metering in the main menu
▸ Select the desired metering method
( Spot , Center-Weighted , Highlight-Weighted , Multi-Field )
• The selected metering method is displayed in the header line
of the screen image.
Notes
• The exposure information (ISO value, aperture, shutter speed
and light balance with exposure compensation scale) will help to
determine the settings required for correct exposure.
SPOT
This metering method is concentrated exclusively on a small area
in the center of the image. The metering fields are joined together
when the exposure metering method Spot is combined with the
AF metering methods Spot and Field . Exposure metering will then
occur at the point specified by the AF frame, even if it is moved.
CENTER-WEIGHTED
This method considers the entire image field. The subject elements
captured in the center will, however, impact on the calculation of
the exposure value more so than areas around the edges.
MULTI-FIELD
This metering method is based on the detection of multiple values.
These values are used in an algorithm to calculate an exposure value
appropriate for a good rendering of the assumed main subject.
