Center weighted - a traditional metering method in film cameras. The system measures light values over the entire image area with emphasis given the central region.
Spot - uses a small area within the image to calculate the
exposure. When this mode is selected, a small circle will appear in the middle of the live image indicating the
measuring area. The spot allows precise exposure measurements of a particular object without being
influenced by extremely bright or dark areas within the
scene. When using spot metering with the Flex Focus
Point (p. 48), the spot circle can move with the focus Spot metering display point. This function is selected in section 4 of the
recording menu (p. 107).
