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.

 

 

[Center Weighted] ( )

: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.

ÄIf 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.
