Spot Metering
on the Center of the Subject)
If a shot is backlit, ordinary photometric settings (digital ESP metering)
will make the subject appear too dark. To compensate for this, switch
the camera over to the spot metering mode in the shooting menu. This
feature is used to obtain the right exposure regardless of backlighting.
For operating instructions see "Using the Shooting Menu" (p.72).
