Evaluative Metering is the default light metering mode. This can be switched to another metering mode.

for light metering. The camera evaluates the

 

 

 

complex lighting conditions, such as the position

of the subject, the brightness, the background,

 

the direct light, and the backlighting, and adjusts

the settings to the correct exposure for the main

 

 

 

 

 

 

subject.

 

 

 

This mode is particularly well-suited for backlit

but places more weight on the subject at the

Center

Locks the spot metering frame to the center of

 

 

the LCD monitor.

the selected AF frame.

 

 

 

*When the AF frame is set to Auto Selection (p. 89), it will be fixed to the center.
