-Multi pattern metering : 
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.
-Spot metering : 
Use this function when there is backlight or when photographing a subject that has little contrast. In backlighting conditions adjust the light metering to suit the subject matter.

INFORMATION
The default metering mode is Multi pattern metering.
If the subject is not the centre of the focus, do not use the spot metering as there may be an exposure error. In this case, use exposure compensation.
When the power is turned off, the changed setting value returns to the initial value.
