Metering Modes

: Evaluative Metering

This is an all-around metering mode suited even for backlit subjects. The viewfinder field is divided into 35 metering zones to which the three AF points are linked for evaluative metering. The camera determines the main subject’s size, position, brightness, background, front and back lighting, etc., so that it can select the proper exposure for the subject at all times.

●When using manual focusing, evaluative metering is based on the center AF point.

: Partial Metering

This is particularly effective when the background is much brighter than the subject due to backlighting, etc. This method uses a center area of approximately 9.5% of the screen.

●The area covered by partial metering is shown on the left.

: Center-weighted Average Metering

This method meters the average exposure of the entire viewfinder screen, and gives extra weight to

the center.
