Front-lit subject against dark background

If a brightly lit subject is positioned against a dark background, and is not in the center, centerweighted metering places too much emphasis on the dark center of the picture. The result is a correctly exposed background, but an overexposed main subject However, with automatic multi-pattern metering, the camera automatically integrates both the dark background and bright subject to ensure the best overall exposure

Scenes with high reflectivity

If a scene contains spectral highlights, such as the sun itself or bright reflections from water or metallic objects, the main subject wilI come out as a silhouette with regular centerweighted metering. However, with automatic multi pattern metering, the light value of the darker parts is also measured, resulting in a well-balanced exposure. In addition, overall bright scenes, such as snow scenes, come out correctly exposed with automatic multi-pattern metering What happens is that extreme brightness is uniformly reduced to EV 16-1/3, automatically making the right amount of exposure compensation for correct exposure.
