Selecting the Light Metering Mode
You can select the method the camera uses to evaluate the brightness of your subject.
EVALUATIVE | Appropriate for standard shooting conditions, including | ||
| backlit scenes. The camcorder divides images into | ||
| several zones for light metering. It evaluates complex | ||
| lighting conditions, such as the position and brightness of | ||
| the subject, background, direct light or backlight, and | ||
| adjusts the exposure of the main subject accordingly. | ||
CENT.WEIGHT.AVERAGE | Averages the light metered from the entire screen, giving | ||
| more weight to the subject in the center. | ||
SPOT | Meters the area within the spot AE point frame. Use this | ||
| setting for adjusting the exposure matching the subject in | ||
| the center of the screen. | ||
| The spot AE point frame can be tied to the AF frame | ||
| ( |
