Using the Center-Weighted Metering

4

Metering is weighted at the center of the

 

 

 

screen. Use this metering when you want to

 

 

Shooting

 

 

compensate the exposure by experience,

 

 

instead of leaving it to the camera. The

 

 

illustration shows that sensitivity increases

 

 

as the pattern height increases (center). This

 

 

Functions

 

 

mode does not automatically compensate

 

 

 

 

for backlit scenes.

 

 

 

 

 

Using the Spot Metering

 

 

 

 

With spot metering, brightness is measured

 

 

 

 

 

only within a limited area at the center of the

 

 

 

screen as shown in the illustration. You can

 

 

 

use this in combination with the AE lock

 

 

 

(p.116) when the subject is extremely small

 

 

 

and the proper exposure is difficult to obtain.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Setting the Meter Operating Time

You can set the exposure metering time to [10sec.] (default setting), [3sec.] or [30sec.] in [4. Meter Operating Time] in the [ACustom Setting 1] menu (p.85).
