Changing the Light Metering (PHOTOMETRY)

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

There are three Light Metering Methods available: MULTI, CENTER, and SPOT.

Types of Modes You Can Select

Symbol	Mode	Description
(No Symbol)	MULTI	The entire shooting range is divided into 256 partitions, and subjected to
		photometry for overall decision.
	CENTER	The light metering is determined by a measurement of the whole, with the
		central part emphasized.
		Use this when the brightness of the center and surroundings are different.
	SPOT	Light metering is determined by measuring only the central part.
