SPOT METERING [

This mode accurately measures a small area such as a person's face to enable
you to shoot a picture with the brightness precisely adjusted to the subject.
Position the spot frame on the area
where you want to measure the light.
When there is an extreme difference in
the brightness of the subject and
background, use of the Spot Metering
mode is recommended (in backlighting,
for example).
