(Metering Mode)
desired mode
(Multi)
Divides into multiple regions and measures each region. The camera
determines a well-balanced exposure (Multi-pattern metering).
(Center)
Measures the center of the image, and determines the exposure based on the
brightness of the subject there (Center-weighted metering).
(Spot)
Align the spot metering cross hairs on the subject to meter one part of the
subject (Spot metering). This function is useful when the subject is backlit or
when there is strong contrast between the subject and the background.
Notes
In Movie Mode, [Spot] cannot be selected.
If you set [Metering Mode] to other than [Multi], the Face Detection function cannot be used.
You may not be able to set some MENU items depending on the selected REC mode. For
details, see “MENU items not available in some REC modes.”
