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	METERING
		area. However, the
		calculation will be	Multi
		biased towards the centre of the 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 objects like flowers or insects.

KIf 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.
