Minolta F100 instruction manual AF sensor display, Metering modes

MULTI-FUNCTION RECORDING

AF sensor display

When using Area AF, the AF-sensor display indicating the point of focus can be turned off. The Area- AF focus frames will remain on the display when the shutter-release button is pressed partway down.

Metering modes

The icons indicating both metering modes are displayed on the monitor only. The metering mode is set in the custom 1 section of the multi-function recording mode menu (p. 56).

Multi-segment metering uses 256 segments to measure lumi- nance and color. This data is combined with distance informa- tion to calculate the camera exposure. This advanced metering system will give accurate worry-free exposures in almost all situ- ations.

Spot metering uses a small area within the image to calculate the exposure. When this mode is selected, the LCD monitor will automatically activate if off and a small circle will appear in the middle of the live image indicating the measuring area. The spot allows precise exposure measurements of a particular object without being influenced by extremely bright or dark areas within the scene. If the LCD monitor is turned off, the spot-metering mode will remain active.
