Choosing a Metering System
You can control the way light affects your pictures using the metering systems
available on your camera. If you want a nice even exposure throughout the
picture, use the Multi-Pattern setting. This setting is great for everyday pictures.
If you want to emphasize the center of your picture, such as a person’s face,
while at the same time de-emphasizing the background, use the Center-Weighted
setting.
