CENTER-WEIGHTED METERING
With 75% of the
meter's
sensitivity concentrated on the
12mm-
dia. circle in
the viewfinder
and 25% outside
this
circle,
this
meter becomes useful in situations where you want
to
base
exposure on a specific area in the scene.
In the
auto exposure
mode, to measure
the
brightness
of
the
picture's off-center
portion,
use the camera's
AE-L lever
(pp. 88-89).
SPOT METERING
Nearly
100% of
the meter's
sensitivity is concentrated on the
3mm circle
in the
center of the viewfinder.
Use
this meter for
really selective exposure control-achieving the best results
requires experience.
