EXPOSURE METERING METHODS
The following exposure metering methods are selectable.

SPOT
This metering method is concentrated exclusively on a small area
in the center of the image. The metering fields are joined together

moved.
CENTER-WEIGHTED
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
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
subject.
HIGHLIGHT-WEIGHTED
This method considers the entire image field. The exposure value
will, however, be adjusted to very bright subject elements. That
prevents the overexposure of central subject elements without
having to measure them individually. This metering method is
particularly useful for subjects that are significantly more brightly
lit than the background (e.g. people in a spotlight) or that reflect
the light significantly (e.g. white clothing).
