Description
The entire shooting range is divided into 256 partitions, and each is
metered to determine the overall exposure value.
The entire image is metered, with emphasis on the center, to
determine the exposure value.
Use this when the brightness of the center and surroundings are different.
Only the center of the image is metered to determine the exposure value.
Use this setting when you want to use the brightness at the center.
This is useful if there is a marked difference in contrast or backlighting.
