Spot light-metering
Mode dial setting:
When there is reflected light, or the
background of the subject provides a very
high contrast, you can adjust the focus to
that most appropriate for your subject. You
can aim at a particular point, and meter the
light to adjust the focus for that point.
• When the place you want to focus on and the
place you are using Spot light-metering on are
the same, it recommended that you use Center
AF (page 58).
