Selecting the Metering Mode
Use the following procedure to specify multi (multi pattern)
metering, spot metering, or center weighted metering as
the metering mode.
1.
In the REC mode, press [MENU].
2. Select the “REC” tab, select “Metering”, and
then press [
].
3. Use [ ] and [ ] to select the setting you
want, and then press [SET].
Multi (Multi pattern):
Multi (Multi pattern) metering divides the
image into sections and measures the
light in each section for a balanced
exposure reading. The camera
automatically determines shooting
conditions according to the measured
lighting pattern, and makes exposure
settings accordingly. This type of
metering provides error-free exposure
settings for a wide range of shooting
conditions.
Center Weighted:
Center weighted metering measures
light concentrating on the center of the
focus area. Use this metering method
when you want to exert some control
over exposure, without leaving settings
totally up to the camera.
Spot:
Spot metering takes readings at a very
small area. Use this metering method
when you want exposure to be set
according to the brightness of a
particular subject, without it being
affected by surrounding conditions.
