(AE METERING)

You can change the metering method (the range to use for metering) used to determine the exposure value.

There are three light metering modes.

Light Metering Modes

None	MULTI	The entire shooting range is divided into 256 partitions, and each is
		metered to determine the overall exposure value.
	CENTER	The entire image is metered, with emphasis on the center, to
		determine the exposure value.
		Use this when the brightness of the center and surroundings are different.
	SPOT	Only the center of the image is metered to determine the exposure
