Metering Mode
Methods for measuring the subject's brightness (metering modes) are provided. Normally, evaluative metering is recommended. Evaluative metering is set automatically in Basic Zone modes (except in :
mode, which uses center-weighted average metering).
-
: Evaluative metering
General-purpose metering mode suited even for backlit subjects. The camera adjusts the exposure automatically to suit the scene.
-
: Spot metering
Effective when metering a specific part of the subject. The spot metering area is indicated on the screen.
-
: Center-weighted average
The metering across the screen is averaged, with the center of the screen weighted more heavily.
Note
- Holding down the shutter button halfway when shooting with [One-Shot AF] locks the exposure value (AE lock).
