Metering

The camera calculates the exposure level before an image is taken. There are two
ways that exposure may be determined (metered.)
[ Multi ]: Multi metering (default)
The exposure is measured and calculated
for entire scene area. By dividing the entire
area of the scene, the exposure level for
each unit is calculated. A well balance
exposure can be obtained.
[ Spot ]: Spot metering
The exposure is measured in a very small
area at the center of the scene. Exposure
is determined on the subject on interest
without being affected by the surrounding
environment.
