Centre Weighted
Used for light situations where there is no
particular dominance of light or dark areas
across the tonal range. Takes into account
approximately 25% of the image seen in the
viewfinder.
Centre Spot
Emphasizes the central section of the focusing
screen equivalent to approximately 25% of the
image. This provides a balanced assessment
and is a typical choice where the main subject
is in the centre of the image.
Spot
The sensitive area is equivalent to
approximately 2.5% of the image area (the
central spot on the viewfinder screen). Any
parts of the image outside of this area will
not affect the exposure reading. This provides
a very accurate measurement of specific
tones. Also excellent for tonal comparison
measurements.
Spot area is marked in Live View screen.
