Use Evaluative metering ( ) for general subjects and backlit scenes. By dividing the viewfinder into 12 metering zones linked with the five focusing points, the camera evaluates subject size, position (based on the focusing point in use), brightness, background, front lighting and back lighting to determine the best exposure setting. In manual focusing mode, evaluative metering is based on the central focusing point.

☛When the subject is lit by strong backlighting or a narrow beam of light such as a spotlight, we recommend using Partial metering( ) or fine spot metering( ).
