Notes About Metering
While digital zoom is in effect, metering is set to center-weighted metering. The active metering
area is not displayed.
C
Metering Area
The active metering area is displayed in the monitor when Center-weighted is selected for
Metering.
Uses a wide area of the screen for metering. This metering mode
provides the appropriate exposure for a variety of shooting
conditions. Recommended in most situations.
The camera meters the entire frame but assigns greatest weight
to the subject in the center of the frame. Classic meter for
portraits; preserves background details while letting lighting
conditions in the center of the frame determine exposure. Can
be used with focus lock (A 78) to meter off-center subjects.
