The standard metering mode for this camera uses a fourteen segment honeycomb pattern metering system to determine the correct exposure.

When you want to set the exposure according to a very small part of the scene, spot metering lets you use a single metering segment to determine correct exposure. When selected, only the center segment of the honeycomb pattern is used to read the brightness of the subject in the spot circle in the center of the viewfinder.

1. Focus on the subject.2. Press and hold the spot/

•Spot metering is available only when the flash does not fire. If the spot button is pressed when the flash is fired, slow-shutter sync is set. See page 95.
