Metering

If exposure conditions are not ideal, changing the metering method can result in brighter pictures.

[Multi] (	) : Exposure is calculated
	based on an average of
	the available light in the	Metering
	image area. However, the
	calculation will be biased
	towards the center of the	Back	Move
	image area. This is suitable
	for general use.
[Spot] (	) : Only the rectangular area in the center of the LCD screen
	is metered for light. This is suitable when the subject in
	the center is exposed correctly, regardless of the back
	lighting.

[Center-weighted] ()

:Exposure is calculated based on an average of the avail- able light in the image area. However, the calculation is biased towards the center of the image area. This is suit- able for taking a picture of small object such as flowers or insects.

ÄIf the subject is not in the center of the focus area, do not use spot metering as this may result in an exposure error.

Use exposure compensation instead. See page 35.
