The main light metering system used in this
camera is called “evaluative metering.’’ It
evaluates the entire picture area by divid
ing it into three zones to determine the best
exposure taking into consideration differ
ences in brightness between the subject
and background and the size of the sub
ject. With a backlit subject, for example,
the camera automatically compensates to
obtain correct exposure for the main
subject.
Partial metering, on the other hand, reads
only 9.5% of the center of the picture area.
This is particularly suited for photography
in theaters and other situations when there
is a significant difference in brightness be
tween the main subject and background.
The exposure setting is automatically
locked in partial metering mode, allowing
you to freely recompose the picture after
metering.
