subject to determine the best exposure to use.

Note on Metering
When digital zoom is used, the camera automatically switches to a setting similar to Center-
weighted. However, the metering target does not appear.
Metering
When Center-weighted or Spot is selected, the metering target is dis-
played in the center of the monitor.
Analyzes the distribution of brightness over a wide area of the
frame, producing optimal results for most situations.
Meters the entire frame but assigns the greatest weight to the
center area. Suitable for portraits. Use with AF lock (P.87) to
meter off-center subjects.
Measures light in an area shown by a square in the center of
the monitor. The subject in the metering target area will be
correctly exposed even when the background is much brighter
or darker. Use with AF lock (P.87) to meter off-center subjects.
Links spot metering to the active focus area when AF area
mode is set to Auto or Manual (P.86).
