an average of the available light in the

Spot (

[ PROGRAM mode ]

: 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, It is better to use exposure compensation.
