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 expo-
sure. 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 point. This func- tion is selected in section 4 of the recording menu (p. 107).
