Description
Multi
Exposure will be calculated based on an average
of light in each image area divided into multiple
regions. However, the calculation will be biased
towards the centre of the image area. This is
suitable for general use.
Spot
Only the rectangular area in the centre of the LCD
monitor will be metered for light. This is suitable
when the subject in the centre is exposed correctly,
regardless of the back lighting.
Center
Weighted
Exposure will be calculated based on an average
of the available light in the image area. However,
the calculation will be biased towards the centre of
the image area. This is suitable for taking a picture
of small objects like fl owers or insects.
Ú If the subject is not the centre of the focus area, do not use the [Spot]
metering as this may result in an exposure error. In this circumstance, it is
better to use exposure compensation.
