Metering modes changes the metering pattern. If the luminance levels of the scene are outside the metering range, the metering indicator turns red.

Metering mode is selected with the function button and the controller (p. 64).

Multi-segment- uses 256 segments to measure luminance and color. This data is combined with distance information to calculate the camera exposure. This advanced metering system will give accurate worry-free exposures in almost all situations.

Center weighted - a traditional metering method in film cameras. The system measures light values over the entire image area with emphasis given the center 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 1 of the

recording menu (p. 90).

When the metering mode is set, an indicator appears on the monitors.
