Changing the Light Metering (PHOTOMETRY)
You can change the metering method (the range to use for metering) to determine the exposure value.
There are three Light Metering Methods available: MULTI, CENTRE, and SPOT.
MULTI (No Symbol)
The entire shooting range is divided into 256 partitions,
and subjected to photometry for overall decision.
At purchase, your camera is set to this method.
CENTER(
)
The light metering is determined by a measurement of the
whole, with the central part emphasized.
Use this when the brightness of the center and surround-
ings are different.
SPOT(
)
Light metering is determined by measuring only the central
part.
Use this setting when you want to use the brightness of
the center. It is useful if there is marked difference in con-
trast or backlighting.
To select light metering method, follow the
