(Spot)

This mode measures light only in the spot metering circle in

 

 

the center of the frame. This is suitable for shooting a subject

 

 

with strong contrast or measuring the light of a specific area

 

 

of the screen. If the area to be measured is not in the center of

 

 

the screen, use AE lock to take the picture (page 67).

zMulti-segment metering (40-segment honeycomb pattern metering)

This camera divides the screen into 40 segments to measure light; 39 honeycomb shaped metering elements and one metering element that covers the surrounding area. These elements work in sync with autofocus, allowing the camera to accurately measure the position and brightness of the subject no matter where it is on the screen in order to determine the exposure. This metering method enables the camera to measure light in a way most similar to that of the human eye, which is ideal for general shooting, including shooting into direct sunlight.

•In multi-segment metering (40-segment honeycomb pattern metering), if the focus is locked by pressing and holding the shutter button halfway down, the exposure (the shutter speed and the aperture)

is locked simultaneously (only when autofocus is used and the AF mode is set to either (Single-

shot AF) or (Automatic AF)).
