Metering Modes

[ ® ] : Evaluative Metering

This is an aii-around metering mode suited even for

backiit subjects. The viewfinder fieid is divided into
35 metering zones to which the three AF points are
linked for evaluative metering. The camera deter
mines the main subject’s size, position, brightness,

background, front and back lighting, etc., so that it

can select the proper exposure for the subject at all
times.
® When using manual focusing, evaluative

metering is based on the center AF point.

: Partial Metering

This is particularly effective when the background is

much brighter than the subject due to backlighting,

etc. This method uses a center area of approxi
mately 9.5% of the screen.
@ The area covered by partial metering is shown on

the left.

CIl: Center-weighted Average Metering

This method meters the average exposure of the
entire viewfinder screen, and gives extra weight to

the center.
