| Exposure will be calculated based on an average | |
| Multi | of light in each image area divided into multiple | |
| regions. However, the calculation will be biased | ||
|
| towards the centre of the image area. This is | |
|
| suitable for general use. | |
|
|
| |
|
| Only the rectangular area in the centre of the LCD | |
| Spot | monitor will be metered for light. This is suitable | |
| when the subject in the centre is exposed correctly, | ||
|
| ||
|
| regardless of the back lighting. | |
|
|
| |
|
| Exposure will be calculated based on an average | |
| Center | of the available light in the image area. However, | |
| the calculation will be biased towards the centre of | ||
| Weighted | ||
| the image area. This is suitable for taking a picture | ||
|
| ||
|
| of small objects like flowers or insects. | |

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.
