Linking AF Point and AE During Multi-Segmented Metering
In [Link AF Point and AE] (p.100) of the [ACustom] menu, you can link the exposure and focus point in the focusing area during multi- segment metering. The default setting is [1 (Off)].
1 | Off | Exposure is set separately from focus point. |
2 | On | Exposure is set in accordance with focus point. |
Using the |
| |
Metering is weighted at the center of the |
| |
screen. Use this metering when you want |
| |
to compensate the exposure by | 5 | |
experience, instead of leaving it to the | Function | |
camera. The illustration shows that | ||
| ||
sensitivity increases as the pattern height |
| |
increases (center). This mode does not | Reference | |
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.142) when the subject is extremely small and proper exposure is difficult to obtain.
