The main light metering system used in this
camera is called 'evaluative metering." It
evaluates the entire picture area by divid-
ing it into three zones to determine the best
exposure taking into consideration differ-
ences in brightness, between
the subject
and background and the size of the sub-
ject. With a backlit subject, for example,
the camera automatically compensates to
obtain
correct
exposure
for
the
main
subject.
Partial metering, on the other hand, reads
only 9.5% of the center of the picture area
This is particularly suited for photography
in theaters and other situations when there
is a significant difference in brightness be-
tween the main subject and background.
