qEvaluative Metering
This is the camera’s standard metering mode suited for most subjects even under backlit conditions. After detecting the subject’s position in the viewfinder; the brightness, background, front and back lighting conditions; and camera orientation (horizontal or vertical), the camera sets the proper exposure.
wPartial Metering
Effective when the background is much brighter than the subject due to backlighting, etc. The metering is weighted at the center covering about 8.5% of the viewfinder area.
rSpot Metering
This is for metering a specific part of the subject or scene. The metering is weighted at the center covering about 2.4% of the viewfinder area.
