EN 11 FIELD METERING
This metering method records the subject in a total of 11 fi elds which
are indicated by AF frames. Focusing is carried out automatically on
the parts of the subject at the shortest distance, thus providing
maximum reliability for snapshots. Normally, 9 of the 11 fi elds are
used. These are positioned to cover the majority of the central part of
the image.
If required, you can concentrate the metering on any part of the
image by selecting groups from either the three upper or lower or the
four left or right AF fi elds:
1. Press the
DELETE/FOCUS
• All displays except for the 11 AF frames disappear. Initially only
the 9 frames in the central group have red outlines. Red
triangles on all sides indicate the possible settings.
