The following table helps explain the settings in more detail:

Setting

Description

 

Average

The camera uses the entire scene region to

 

 

measure and calculate exposure. Use this

 

 

setting when you want everything in the picture

 

 

to be used equally when calculating exposure.

 

 

 

None

Center-

The camera uses a large area in the center of

 

Weighted

the scene region to measure and calculate

 

 

exposure. This setting is good to use when the

 

 

subject is in the center of the frame. Exposure

 

 

will be based more on the subject than on its

 

 

surroundings. This is the default setting.

 

 

 

 

Spot

The camera uses a small area in the center of

 

 

the scene region to measure and calculate

 

 

exposure. This can be useful in backlit scenes

 

 

or when the subject is very dark or light

 

 

compared to the rest of the scene. When using

 

 

this setting, put the subject of the picture in the

 

 

center of the viewfinder, then press the Shutter

 

 

button halfway down to lock the exposure and

 

 

focus on the spot in the center, and then

 

 

recompose the scene as desired.

 

 

 

If the new setting is anything other than the default setting of Center-Weighted, the icon for the setting (in the table above) will appear in the Live View screen.

The new setting remains in effect until it is changed again or until the camera is turned off (unless AE Metering is checked in the Remembered Settings menu - see page 90).
