Evaluative metering
This is the camera's standard metering mode suited for
most shooting including backlit conditions. Based on the
subject's position in the viewfinder, brightness, background,
front or back lighting conditions, etc., the camera always
calculates the proper exposure for the subject.
Partial metering
This mode is set automatically when AE lock is used in
a Creative Zone mode. It is effective for backlit subjects
when there is a strong light behind the subject. The
viewfinder center covering about 9.5% of the viewfinder
area is used for metering. The partial metering area is
shown on the left.
Center-weighted average metering
This is set automatically in the <W> mode. The
metering is weighted at the center and then averaged
for the entire scene.
