Multi-pattern:
Multi-pattern metering divides the image
into sections and measures the light in
each section for a balanced exposure
reading. The camera automatically
determines shooting conditions according to the
measured lighting pattern, and makes exposure
settings accordingly. This type of metering provides
error-free exposure settings for a wide range of
shooting conditions.
Center-weighted:
Center-weighted metering measures
light concentrating on the center of the
focus area. Use this metering method
when you want to exert some control
over exposure, without leaving settings totally up to
the camera.
Spot:
Spot metering takes readings at a very
small area. Use this metering method
when you want exposure to be set
according to the brightness of a particu-
lar subject, without it being affected by surrounding
conditions.
• You can specify the position of the focus area used for cen-
ter-weighted and spot metering. See page E-63 for more
information.
