When calculating exposure, center-weighted
metering assigns the greatest weight to a circle in
the center of the frame. The diameter (
φ) of this
circle can be set to 6, 8, 10, or 13 mm or to the
average of the entire frame.

D Fine-Tuning Exposure
Exposure can be fine-tuned separately for each Custom Settings bank
and is not affected by two-button resets. Note that as the exposure
compensation (
E) icon is not displayed, the only way to determine how
much exposure has been altered is to view the amount in the fine-
tuning menu. Exposure compensation (
0 118) is preferred in most
situations.
