Evaluative Light
Metering
The camera divides images into several zones
for light metering. The camera evaluates the
complex lighting conditions, such as the position
of the subject, the brightness, the background,
the direct light, and the backlighting, and adjusts
the settings to the correct exposure for the main
subject.
This mode is particularly well-suited for backlit
conditions and general photography.
Center-Weighted
Averaging
Averages the exposure from the entire image,
but places more weight on the subject at the
center.
Spot AE Point Meters the area within the spot AE point frame.
Center
Locks the spot metering frame to the center of
the LCD monitor.
AF Point*
Moves the spot AE point to the same position as
the selected AF frame.
