Spot metering is always performed at the center of the viewfinder, regardless of the AF area selection mode or selected AF point.
Linked to active AF point

Spot metering is linked to the manually selected AF point. Note that spot metering is performed at the center of the viewfinder when the AF area selection mode is Automatic selection AF, Zone AF, or Large Zone AF.

With an external flash, FE lock linked to a manually selected AF point is available, and this function can also be used with metered manual flash exposure ().

C.Fn2

Safety shift

If the subject brightness changes and the standard exposure cannot be obtained within the autoexposure range, the camera will automatically change the manually selected setting to obtain the standard exposure. [Shutter speed/Aperture] applies to or mode. [ISO speed] applies to , , or mode.

OFF: Disable
Tv/Av: Shutter speed/Aperture
ISO: ISO speed

Note

When [ISO speed] is set, safety shift also applies to AEB shooting in mode.
Safety shift overrides any changes to [Range for stills] or [Min. shutter spd.] from default settings in [: ISO speed settings] if standard exposure cannot be obtained.
The minimum and maximum limits for the safety shift with the ISO speed are determined by [Auto range] (). However, if the manually set ISO speed exceeds the [Auto range], the safety shift will take effect up or down to the manually set ISO speed.
Safety shift will take effect as necessary even when flash is used.

Same expo. for new aperture

The maximum aperture value may decrease (the lowest f/number may increase) in mode (manual exposure shooting) with ISO speed set manually (except when set to ISO Auto) if you (1) Change lenses, (2) Attach an extender, or (3) Use a zoom lens with a variable maximum aperture value. This function prevents the corresponding underexposure by adjusting ISO speed or shutter speed (Tv) automatically to maintain the same exposure as before (1), (2), or (3).

With [ISO speed/Shutter speed], the ISO speed is automatically adjusted within the ISO speed range. If exposure cannot be maintained by adjusting ISO speed, shutter speed (Tv value) is automatically adjusted.

OFF: Disable
ISO: ISO speed
ISO/Tv: ISO speed/Shutter speed
Tv: Shutter speed

Caution

Does not respond to changes in effective aperture value from changes in magnification when macro lenses are used.
Cannot provide the same exposure as before (1), (2), or (3) if [ISO speed] is set and the exposure cannot be maintained at speeds set in [ISO speed range].
Cannot provide the same exposure as before (1), (2), or (3) if [Shutter speed] is set and the exposure cannot be maintained at speeds set in [3: Set shutter speed range].

Note

Also responds to changes in the highest f/number (minimum aperture).
The original exposure setting is restored if you perform (1), (2), or (3) with [ISO speed], [ISO speed/Shutter speed], or [Shutter speed] set and do not adjust ISO speed, shutter speed, or aperture value before returning the camera to the original state, before (1), (2), or (3).
Shutter speed may change to maintain exposure if the ISO speed increases to an expanded ISO speed when [ISO speed] is set.
