HP R707 manual Center of the frame. Exposure will be based

Setting	Description
Center-	The camera uses a large area in the center of the
Weighted	scene region to measure and calculate exposure. This
	setting is good to use when the subject of the picture 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 of
	the picture is very dark or light compared to the rest of
	the scene. When using this setting, frame the subject of
	the picture in the center of the focus brackets, then
	press the Shutter button halfway down to lock the
	exposure and focus on the spot in the center. Then
	recompose the scene as desired and press the Shutter
	button all the way down. NOTE: When this setting is
	used, parts of the image can end up over or under-
	exposed.

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

Except in My Mode (page 52), the new setting remains in effect until it is changed again or until the camera is turned off. The AE Metering setting resets to the default Center-Weightedsetting when you turn the camera off.
