Metering

If you cannot obtain suitable exposure conditions, you can change the metering method to take brighter pictures.

[Multi] : Exposure will be calculated based on

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

an average of the available light in the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

image area. However, the calculation

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

will be biased towards the centre of the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

image area. This is suitable for general

[Spot] : Only the rectangular area in the centre

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

of the LCD monitor will be metered for light. This is suitable

when the subject in the centre is exposed correctly, regardless

of the back lighting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ÄIf the subject is not the centre of the focus area, do not use the spot metering as this may result in an exposure error. In this circum- stance, it is better to use exposure compensation.
