Changing Auto-Exposure (AE) Modes

- Your camera uses center-weighted metering as the default, but it can
be changed to spot metering.
- Spot metering is used to ensure matching the exposure to a targeted
part of your subject.

Center-weighted metering
In this mode the camera sets the exposure according to the metering
for the central part of the whole frame. It is ideal for taking photos
where the brightness of the subject in the center of the frame is
desired.
Spot metering
In spot metering the camera measures the light of just the subject in
the center of the frame, and sets the exposure to it. This mode is ideal
when the background of the picture is brighter than the subject, or
there is a great deal of contrast between the two, as the camera allows
you to take the photo with the exposure set to the brightness of your
desired subject.
