Using the Center-Weighted Metering

Metering is weighted at the center of the screen. Use this metering when you want to 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 mode does not automatically compensate for backlit scenes.
