The camera meters the entire frame but assigns greatest weight to the
subject in the center of the frame. The classic metering for portraits; it
preserves background details while letting lighting conditions in the
center of the frame determine exposure.*
Spot

frame. This can be used when the subject is much lighter or darker
than the background. Ensure that the subject is within the area shown
by the circle when shooting.*

set the focus area to the center of the frame, and then use focus lock.
