Average/spot auto

Exposure metering is performed after automatically

 

exposure metering

selecting average/spot exposure metering.• Depending

 

 

on the subject conditions, center-weighted average/spot

 

 

exposure metering is selected automatically, and the

 

 

correct exposure is measured.

 

 

• Spot exposure metering is automatically selected when

 

 

the brightness of the spot exposure metering range

 

 

becomes darker than the brightness of the entire screen.

 

 

• If there is very little difference between the spot exposure

 

 

metering value and center-weighted average exposure

 

 

metering value, the correct exposure level is obtained as

 

 

the intermediate value.

 

Center-weighted

The average brightness of the entire screen is measured,

 

average/spot

emphasizing the center of the screen.

mode is suited to measuring subjects with strong contrasts

 

 

or measuring only screen portions.
