Selecting the Metering Method

Select the method to meter the brightness of the subject. Three metering methods are available: digital ESP metering, center weighted averaging metering, and spot metering. The camera is set for digital ESP metering when you purchased the camera.

Meters the entire picture and reads not only the light but the brightness patterns as well to determine the correct exposure value.

Meters the entire picture, yet concentrates on metering light in the center of the picture in area three times the size of the Spot metering area mark (approximately 11% of the viewfinder) to determine the correct exposure value.

Concentrates on metering the light on the area covered by the spot meter in the center of the viewfinder (1.2% of the viewfinder) to determine the correct exposure value.

Brightness of center and surrounding area different?

When there is a great difference in the level of brightness between the center of the picture and the surrounding area, or when there is an object in the background brightly lit, digital ESP metering may not be able to meter the scene correctly. In such a situation, switch to center weighted averaging metering or spot metering, cover the subject with the metering mark and adjust the exposure compensation and other settings to determine the correct exposure. For a dark subject in strong backlighting, you can also use the flash.
