Matrix (default setting)
Camera sets exposure for entire frame. Recommended in most situations.
q
Center-weighted
Camera meters entire frame but assigns greatest weight to subject in center of
frame. Classic meter for portraits; preserves background details while letting lighting
conditions at center of frame determine exposure. Can be used with focus lock
(A 85) to meter off-center subjects.
