The metering mode is selected in section 2 of the recording
menu (p. 40). Metering cannot be changed with the movie
recording or digital subject programs.
Multi-segment metering: uses 256 segments to measure
luminance and color. This data is combined with distance
information to calculate the camera exposure. This advanced
metering system will give accurate worry-free exposures in
almost all situations.
Spot metering: uses a small area within the image to
calculate the exposure. When this mode is selected, the LCD
monitor automatically activates if off and a small circle
appears in the middle of the live image indicating the
measuring area. The spot allows precise exposure
measurements of a particular object without being influenced
by extremely bright or dark areas within the scene. If the LCD
monitor is turned off, the spot-metering mode remains active.

INSTANT PLAYBACK
After a still image is captured, it can be displayed on
the monitor for two seconds before being saved.
Instant playback shows the last frame in the series
when used with the continuous-advance drive mode
(p. 37). When the LCD monitor is turned off (p. 29), it
activates automatically for the instant playback
period.
Instant playback can be activated in section 3 of the
recording menu (p. 40). When used with voice memo,
the audio recording begins after the image is played
back.
