MULTI-FIELD
Several focus area are detected automatically.
SPOT/FIELD
Both methods detect only those parts of the object that are within
the relevant AF frames. The metering fields are indicated by a small
frame (field metering) or a cross (spot metering). The very small
measuring range for spot metering allows focusing on tiny details of
the subject. Simply move the AF frame to another position.
The slightly larger measuring range in field metering is less critical
for focusing, but still permits selective metering.
Simply move the AF frame to another position (see p. 191).
ZONE
With this metering method, subject sections are recorded with a
coherent group comprising 5 x 5 fields.

Once the setting has been made, the focus frames are displayed
where object sections are displayed in focus.
