— Metering the subject brightness
There are 2 metering methods: Digital ESP metering and Spot metering.
Digital ESP metering T Meters the center of the subject and the area around
it. The camera is set to this metering method at the factory.
Spot metering T Exposure is determined by metering within the AF target
mark. In this mode, a subject can be shot with optimal exposure regardless of
the background light. In the working range of the macro mode, spot metering
is also available (spot metering+macro mode).
