AE METERING MODES

The AE metering mode controls how light is measured. See navigating the setup menu section on how to open and use the menu (p. 62).

Use the left/right controller keys to select the rec. set menu section.

Use the up/down keys to select the AE option.

Press the set button to switch between center-weighted and spot metering.

Center-weighted metering: measures luminance over the entire image area with emphasis to the central region. This metering mode gives accurate exposures in almost all situations.

Spot metering: uses the AF area to calculate the exposure. Spot metering allows precise exposure measurements of a particular object without being influenced by extremely bright or dark areas within the scene.
