Metering

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

- Multi

: Exposure will be calculated based on

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

an average of the available light in the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

image area. However, the calculation

image area. This is suitable for general

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

use.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

- Spot

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.

-Center : Exposure will be calculated based on an average of the available light in the image area. However, the calculation will be biased towards the centre of the image area. This is suitable for taking a picture of small object like a flower or insects.

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, it is better to use exposure compensation.
