ESP

G H I IHI ISH

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.

ISpot metering

The camera meters a very small area around the center of the subject, defined by the spot metering area mark on the LCD monitor. Use this mode when there is very strong backlight.

IHI Spot metering - highlight control

When the overall background is bright, white areas of the image will come out gray if you use the camera’s automatic exposure. Using this mode enables the camera to shift to over-exposure, allowing accurate white reproduction.

Metering area is the same as spot metering.

ISH Spot metering - shadow control

: Metering area

When the overall background is dark, black areas of the image will come out gray if you use the camera’s automatic exposure. Using this mode enables the camera to shift to under-exposure, allowing accurate black reproduction. Metering area is the same as spot metering.
