Evaluative Metering
Use Evaluative metering ( ) for
general subjects and backlit scenes.
By dividing the viewfinder into 12
metering zones linked with the five
focusing points, the camera
evaluates subject size, position
(based on the focusing point in use),
brightness, background, front
lighting and back lighting to
determine the best exposure setting.
In manual focusing mode,
evaluative metering is based on the
central focusing point.
☛
When the subject is lit by
strong backlighting or a
narrow beam of light such as a
spotlight, we recommend
using Partial metering(
) or
fine spot metering( ).
(page 6-6)
This function lets you select Center
Weighted Average metering instead
of Evaluative metering (
).
