Selecting light measurement points

Using ESP metering when taking pictures of subjects with strong backlighting
may cause the subject to be dark. Use spot metering to get pictures with an
accurate reading from the center without being affected by the light from behind.
ESP Meters the center of the monitor and the surrounding area separately.
The area in the center of the monitor may appear dark when there is
strong backlight.
n
Meters only the center of the monitor to determine exposure. A subject
can be shot with optimal exposure regardless of the background light.
