Selecting The Metering Area (Spot Metering) - Olympus CAMEDIA C-160 Reference Manual

Selecting the metering area (Spot metering)

In a backlight situation, your subject may appear dark if the picture is taken
with the normal metering value (center-weighted average light metering). In
this case, by changing the metering area to the center of the viewfinder (spot
metering), a subject can be shot with optimal exposure regardless of the
background light.
OFF:
Meters light in the entire picture plane to obtain the optimum exposure.
ON (Spot Metering):
Meters light only in the center of the picture plane to obtain the appropriate
exposure for a subject in the center. (This area corresponds approximately
to the AF target mark section on the monitor.)
