image area. However, the

 

 

 

calculation will be biased

 

 

 

towards the center of the

image area. This is suitable

 

 

 

 

for general use.

 

 

[Spot] (

) : Only the rectangular area in the center of the LCD monitor

 

will be metered for light. This is suitable when the subject

 

in the center 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 center of the image area. This is suitable for taking a picture of small object like a flower or insects.

ÄIf the subject is not the center 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.
