Method How It Works When to Use It
Center-
Weighted
Camera measures light in entire frame but
assigns weight of 80% to area in center of
frame occupying roughly
1 /
4
of total
Classic meter for portraits; preserves
background details while letting lighting
conditions at center of frame determine
exposure. Selected automatically when
digital zoom (
52) is used. Can be used
in combination with AE hold ( 87).
Spot AF Area
Camera measures light in current focus
area only
Use to link spot metering to currently
selected focus area when manual or auto
focus-area selection is in effect. Equiva-
lent to “Matrix” when focus-area selec-
tion (
103) is off; equivalent to “Spot”
when manual focus ( 76) is used.
The metering method is shown by icons in the control panel and
monitor. When Spot AF Area is chosen, a spot-metering icon
(
) appears in the control panel.
