Spot metering (
)
Light is measured only for the specific region where the subject is located. This lets you adjust the exposure to the subject even when the subject is backlit or there is strong contrast between the subject and the background.
Position the spot metering cross hair on one point of the subject you want to shoot.
•When using center weighted metering or spot metering, to focus on the same spot as used for metering, we recommend using the center weighted AF range finder frame (page 46).
