Metering

If you cannot obtain suitable exposure conditions, you can change the metering method to take brighter pictures.

: Exposure will be calculated based on

the image area. This is suitable for

general use.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SPOT (

: Only the rectangular area in the centre

of the LCD monitor will be metered for

 

 

 

 

 

 

light. This is suitable when the subject

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

in the centre is exposed correctly, regardless of the back lighting.

INFORMATION

The default metering mode is Multi pattern metering.

If the subject is not the centre of the focus area, do not use the spot metering as this may result in an exposure error. In this circumstance, rather use exposure compensation.
