OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS

Spot

Spot metering takes readings at a very small area. Use this metering method when you want exposure to be set according to the brightness of a particular subject, without it being affected by surrounding conditions.

IMPORTANT!

When “Multi” is selected as the metering mode, certain procedures cause the metering mode setting to change automatically as described below.

Changing the exposure compensation setting (page 87) to a value other than 0.0 changes the metering mode setting to “Center Weighted.” The metering mode changes back to “Multi” when you return the exposure compensation setting to 0.0.

NOTE

You can use the key customization feature (page 119) to configure the [￿] and [￿] buttons so they select the metering method.
