by a set amount.

MULTI setting is unlikely to achieve the desired result.
)MULTI (Pattern):
Light metering where the camera automatically
assesses the scene and selects the optimum
exposure.
_SPOT:
Light metering where the exposure is optimized
for the center of the image.
+AVERAGE:
Light metering where an average value for the
entire image is used.
●
!
In the “B”, ?” and “r” modes, light metering is fixed at
the MULTI setting and cannot be changed.

Regardless of the AF frame location, the exposure is always set using the area in the center of the
screen. To expose the shot for your main subject, use AE lock.
◆The Photometry modes are effective for the following subjects ◆
hMULTI
In this mode, the camera uses automatic scene recognition to analyze the subject and provide optimum
exposure in a wide range of shooting conditions. This mode should be used for everyday photography.
hSPOT
This mode is useful for subjects with strongly contrasting light and dark areas where you want to achieve the
correct exposure for a particular feature.
hAVERAGE
The advantage of this mode is that the exposure tends not to change for different compositions or subjects.
This mode is particularly effective for shots of people wearing black or white clothing and shots of scenery.
;CENTER
The camera focuses on the center of the screen.
This is a useful feature when used for shots using
AF/AE lock (➡P.27).
