Exposure Settings Menu
Used for light situations where there is no
particular dominance of light or dark areas across
the tonal range. Takes into account approximately
25% of the image seen in the viewfinder.
Emphasizes the central section of the focusing
screen equivalent to approximately 25% of the
image. This provides a balanced assessment and
is a typical choice where the main subject is in the
centre of the image.
The sensitive area is equivalent to approximately
2.5% of the image area (the central spot on the
viewfinder screen). Any parts of the image outside of
this area will not affect the exposure reading. This
provides a very accurate measurement of specific
tones. Typically used in the zone system and similar
light measuring situations where maximum control
is required. Also excellent for tonal comparison
measurements. The spot mode can display 'zones'
instead of EV's in the viewfinder display.
