Metering Mode: Selecting the Metering Mode

Selects the metering mode that sets which part of the subject to measure to determine the exposure.

 

 

 

 

(Multi)

Divides into multiple regions and measures each region. The

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

camera determines a well-balanced exposure (Multi-pattern

 

 

 

 

 

metering).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(Center)

Measures the center of the image, and determines the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

exposure based on the brightness of the subject there (Center-

 

 

 

 

 

weighted metering).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(Spot)

Measures only a part of the subject (Spot metering).

 

 

 

 

 

 

(Only for still image)

• This function is useful when the subject is backlit or when there

 

 

 

 

 

is strong contrast between the subject and the background.
