Multi-Spot Metering

reading.

3 Aim the focusing point over a

2 midtone area and press the < > button once. Then do the same for a highlight area.

3 Each time a spot meter reading is taken, the spot meter readings taken so far are

averaged and the result (shutter speed and aperture) is displayed below the viewfinder. See the figure in “Multi-Spot Metering Display” on the next page. On the exposure compensation scale on the right of the viewfinder, the exposure level indicator moves around in real-time to indicate the spot meter reading’s current exposure level. The three spot meter readings are also indicated on the scale with a fixed (non- moving) metering mark.
