EVALUATIVE METERING

The camera measures the brightness of the scene by independently measuring each segment of the focusing screen and analyzing the correct exposure for the main subject under any lighting situation.

Even under strong back lighting or complex lighting situations, the camera will give you the correct exposure.

CENTER WEIGHTED AVERAGE METERING

The camera will measure the average brightness of the entire scene with additional emphasis on the center area. It will determine the most suitable exposure with respect to lighting conditions.

SPOT METERING

The camera will measure the brightness only inside of the center focusing point on the color LCD monitor. This mode is suitable when you wish to set exposure for a portion of the scene and ignore the influence of rest of the scene.
