(Evaluative metering)

Use this mode for general subjects. The ex

posure setting is based on the focusing point

in use, taking into account such factors as

subject size, position, overall lighting level,
front lighting and back lighting.

ra (Spot metering)

This mode limits the metering area to the

centrai part of the viewfinder (approx. 3.5% of

the image area). Use this mode when there is
a big difference in brightness between the

main subject and the background, or for sub

jects that require precise measurement,

such as close-up photography.

n (Center-weighted average metering)

Metering is averaged over the entire scene

with emphasis piaced on the center area.

1) Press the metering mode button.

2) Operate the main dial so the desired

metering mode indicator appears in the

LCD panel.
