Changing the Light Metering (PHOTOMETRY)
You can change the metering method (the range to use for metering) to determine the exposure
value. There are three Light Metering Methods available: MULTI, CENTRE, and SPOT.
MULTI
The entire range of the shot is divided into small sections,
each of which is measured and the exposure is
determined based on the total.
At purchase, your camera is set to this method.
CENTRE
The light metering is determined by a measurement of the
whole, with the central part emphasized.
Use this when the brightness of the center and
surroundings are different.
SPOT
Light metering is determined by measuring only the central
part.
Use this setting when you want to use the brightness of
the center. It is useful if there is marked difference in
contrast or backlighting.
