Centre Weighted
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.
Spot
The sensitive area is equivalent to approx-
imately 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. Also excellent for tonal comparison
measurements.
Spot area is marked in Live View screen.
Centre Spot
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.
