Description
Camera uses the entire scene region to
measure and calculate exposure. Use this
setting when you want everything in the
picture to be used equally when calculating
exposure.
Camera uses the center of the scene region to
measure and calculate exposure. This setting is
good to use when the subject is in the center of
the frame. Exposure will be based more on the
subject than on its surroundings. This is the
default setting.
Camera uses a small area in the center of the
scene region to measure and calculate
exposure. This can be useful in backlit scenes
or when the subject is very dark or light
compared to the rest of the scene. When using
this setting, press the
down to lock the exposure on the spot in the
center, then recompose the scene as desired.
