Selecting the Metering Method

Choose the part of the viewfinder to use for measuring brightness and determining exposure. The following three methods are available. The factory default setting is L(Multi-segment metering).

1 Turn the metering mode switch.

The set metering method is displayed in the status screen and viewfinder.

LMulti-segmented Metering

The scene in the viewfinder is metered in 77 different zones. Even in backlit locations, this mode automatically determines what level of brightness is in which portion and automatically adjusts exposure.

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.
