Spot metering takes readings at a very small area. Use this
metering method when you want exposure to be set according to
the brightness of a particular subject, without being affected by
surrounding conditions.
• The currently selected metering mode is indicated by an icon on the snapshot
screen. No icon is displayed when "1_ Multi" is selected as the metering mode.

Multi-pattern
metering divides the image into sections and
measures the light in each section for a balanced exposure reading.
This type of metering provides error-free exposure settings for a
wide range of shooting conditions.
Center weighted metering concentrates
on the center of the focus
area to measure light. This type of metering is best when you want
some level of control over contrast.
