Metering measures the brightness of a subject. By selecting the optimal mode, you can shoot a subject with the optimal exposure. Evaluative metering is the default metering mode.

		The camera divides images into several zones for metering. The
Evaluative		camera evaluates complex lighting conditions, such as the position
		of the subject, the brightness, the background, the direct light, and
		the backlighting, and adjusts the settings to the correct exposure
		for the main subject.
Center-Weighted		Averages the light metered from the entire frame, but gives greater
Average		weight to the subject matter at the center.
Spot AE Point		Meters the area within the spot AE point frame.
	Center	Locks the spot metering frame to the center of the LCD monitor.
	AF Point	Moves the spot AE point to the AF frame.
