Selecting metering modes

Under normal condition, the light is automatically measured based on overall lighting. If the subject of shooting appears too dark and the background too bright, you can manually select a proper metering mode according to the subject's position.

Pressing the Right () button repeatedly will switch the metering mode in the following order:

Auto g Average g Center g Center-low

g Auto.

Auto mode (no indicator): When the camera is in Auto mode, the camera will automatically select the best metering method for the overall conditions. Average mode: When in Average mode, the camera will measure the lighting condition within the bracketed area. Center mode: When under Center mode, the camera will measure the lighting condition within the central area. Center-low mode: The camera will focus the metering on the center-low area.
