Description
The entire shooting range is divided into 256 partitions, and subjected to
photometry for overall decision.
The light metering is determined by a measurement of the whole, with
the central part emphasized.
Use this when the brightness of the center and surroundings are
different.
Light metering is determined by measuring only the central part.
Use this setting when you want to use the brightness of the center. It is
useful if there is marked difference in contrast or backlighting.
