Metering Modes

The camera has three metering modes: Evaluative, partial, and center-weighted average metering.

Evaluative metering

This is the camera’s standard metering mode suited for most shooting including backlit conditions. Based on the subject’s position in the viewfinder, brightness, background, front or back lighting conditions, etc., the camera always calculates the proper exposure for the subject.

Partial metering

This mode is set automatically when AE lock is used in a Creative Zone mode. It is effective for backlit subjects when there is a strong light behind the subject. The viewfinder center covering about 9.5% of the viewfinder area is used for metering. The partial metering area is shown on the left.

Center-weighted average metering

This is set automatically in the <W> mode. The metering is weighted at the center and then averaged for the entire scene.
