at the point specified by the AF metering field, even if it is moved.
CENTER-WEIGHTED METERING –
This method considers the entire image field. The subject elements
captured in the center will, however, impact on the calculation of
the exposure value more so than areas around the edges.
MULTI-FIELD METERING –
This metering method is based on the detection of multiple values.
These values are used in an algorithm to calculate an exposure
value appropriate for a good rendering of the assumed main
