Multi-field metering

This metering method captures the subject with a total of 49 fields,
thus offering maximum snapshot success.
• Successful focusing for the parts of the subject in question is
indicated by the appearance of a green frame. If, on the other
hand, it is not possible to focus, then a red frame will appear at
the center of the screen.

1-field metering

This metering method records only the parts of the subject in the
center of the monitor image. Thanks to the small metering range
for 1-field metering, you can concentrate on tiny details of the
subject.
With this metering method you can move the AF frame to any point
on the monitor image, e.g. to make it easier to use for off-center
subjects: This can happen in two ways.
