AE METERING MODES
The AE metering mode controls how light is measured. See navigating the setup menu
section on how to open and use the menu (p. 62).
Use the left/right controller keys to select the rec. set menu
section.
Use the up/down keys to select the AE option.
Press the set button to switch between center-weighted and
spot metering.
Center-weighted metering: measures luminance over the entire image area with
emphasis to the central region. This metering mode gives accurate exposures in almost
all situations.
Spot metering: uses the AF area to calculate the exposure.
Spot metering allows precise exposure measurements of a
particular object without being influenced by extremely bright
or dark areas within the scene.
