Center-weighted metering
In this mode the camera sets the exposure according to the metering for the
central part of the whole frame. It is ideal for taking photos where the brightness
of the subject in the center of the frame is desired.
Spot metering
In spot metering the camera measures the light of just the subject in the center of
the frame, and sets the exposure to it. This mode is ideal when the background of
the picture is brighter than the subject, or there is a great deal of contrast between
the two, as the camera allows you to take the photo with the exposure set to the
brightness of your desired subject.
