Shooting With The Exposure Fixed; Ae Lock - Sony DSC-V1 Operating Instructions (English) Operating Instructions Manual

Spot metering (
Light is measured only for the specific
region where the subject is located. This lets
you adjust the exposure to the subject even
when the subject is backlit or there is strong
contrast between the subject and the
background.
Position the spot metering cross hair on one
point of the subject you want to shoot.
• When using center weighted metering or spot
metering, to focus on the same spot as used for
metering, we recommend using the center
weighted AF range finder frame (page 46).
