Set to A / B M d (Shooting menu) M GMetering

The process of measuring the brightness of the subject to determine the exposure

is known as Metering.

Choose how the camera meters exposure.

GMatrix (default setting)

Camera sets exposure for entire frame. Recommended in most situations.

qCenter-weighted

Camera meters entire frame but assigns greatest weight to subject in center of frame. Classic meter for portraits; preserves background details while letting lighting

conditions at center of frame determine exposure. Can be used with focus lock (A111) to meter off-center subjects.
