q Evaluative 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.
w Partial Metering
Effective when the background is much brighter than the subject due to backlighting, etc. The metering is weighted at the center covering about 13.5% of the viewfinder area.
r Spot Metering
This is for metering a specific part of the subject or scene. The metering is weighted at the center covering about 3.8% of the viewfinder area.
