Metering

If you cannot obtain suitable exposure conditions, you can change the
metering method to take brighter pictures.
[Multi] ( ) : Exposure will be
calculated based
on an average
of the available
light in the image
area. However, the
calculation will be
biased towards the centre of the image area.
This is suitable for general use.
[Spot] ( ) : Only the rectangular area in the centre of the
LCD monitor will be metered for light. This
is suitable when the subject in the centre is
exposed correctly, regardless of the back lighting.
[Center Weighted] ( ) : Exposure will be calculated based on an average
of the available light in the image area. However,
the calculation will be biased towards the centre
of the image area. This is suitable for taking a
picture of small objects like fl owers or insects.
If the subject is not the centre of the focus area, do not use the spot
metering as this may result in an exposure error. In this circumstance, it
is better to use exposure compensation.
