Selecting the Metering Mode

Use the following procedure to specify multi-pattern metering, spot metering, or center-weighted metering as the metering mode.

1.In the REC mode, press [MENU].

2.Select the “REC” tab, select “Metering”, and then press [].

3.Use [] and [] to select the setting you want, and then press [SET].

Multi (Multi-pattern)

Multi-pattern metering divides the image into sections and measures the light in each section for a balanced exposure reading. The camera automatically determines shooting conditions according to the measured lighting pattern, and makes exposure settings accordingly. This type of metering provides error-free exposure settings for a wide range of shooting conditions.

Center weighted

Center weighted metering measures light concentrating on the center of the focus area. Use this metering method when you want to exert some control over exposure, without leaving settings totally up to the camera.

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.
