is recommended for general use. Setting the AF synchronized

 

 

function to [ESP+AF] enables metering centered around the AF target that is in focus with AF.

JCenter weighted averaging metering

This metering mode provides the average metering between the subject and the background lighting, placing more weight on the subject at the center. Use this mode when you do not want the light level of the background to affect the exposure value.

nSpot metering

 

The camera meters a very small area around the center of the subject,

 

defined by the spot metering area mark in the viewfinder. Use this

 

mode when there is very strong backlight.
