Metering modes
There are 3 metering methods: Digital ESP metering, spot metering and
multi-metering.
Digital ESP metering: Meters the center of the frame and the area around it
separately to determine the optimal exposure.
Spot metering: Exposure is determined by metering within the AF target
mark. In this mode, a subject can be shot with optimal exposure regardless of
the background light. In the working range of the macro mode, spot metering
is also available (spot metering+macro mode).

Suitable for situations when optimal exposure is difficult to achieve (such as
excessive contrast between the subject and the surroundings). For example,
if nearly the whole frame is taken up with sky, shooting with automatic
exposure will result in a dark subject. In this case, first frame an image
without any sky. Then, press the
non-sky frame. Finally, compose your shot again with the sky in the frame
and shoot. In other words, use AE lock when you want an exposure setting
that's different from the setting that would normally apply to the image you
want to shoot.
