MCenter-weighted Metering

Metering is weighted at the center of the viewfinder. Use this metering when you want to compensate for the exposure by experience, instead of leaving it to the camera. The illustration shows that sensitivity increases as the pattern height increases (center). This mode does not automatically compensate for backlit scenes.

NSpot Metering

The brightness is measured only within a limited area at the center of the viewfinder. You can use this in combination with the AE Lock (p.121) when the subject is extremely small and the correct exposure is difficult to obtain.

Setting the Meter Operating Time

You can set the exposure metering time to [10 sec.] (default setting), [3 sec.] or [30 sec.] in [4. Meter Operating Time] of the [ACustom Setting 1] menu (p.91).
