Aim the spot metering circle over the area where you want a relative exposure reading, then press the <I> button.

XOn the right of the viewfinder, the relative exposure level will be displayed for the spot meter reading taken. For the exposure, the average of the spot meter readings will be set.

While referring to the exposure level indicator’s three spot metering marks, you can set the exposure compensation to set the final exposure and obtain the desired result.

You can take up to eight spot meter readings for one picture.

The exposure setting obtained with multi-spot meter readings will be canceled in the following cases:

•After taking the last spot meter reading, 16 seconds elapsed.

•You pressed the <W>, <o>, <Q>, <Z>, <S>, or <O> button.

•After taking the picture, when metering timer expires.

When [8C.Fn I -7: Spot meter. link to AF point] is set to [1: Enable (use active AF point)] (p.210), multi-spot metering is still possible.
