Metering Modes Evaluative Metering This is an all-around metering mode suited even for backlit subjects. The viewfinder is divided into 35 metering zones to which all the AF points are linked for evaluative metering. After detecting the main subject's position, brightness, background, front and back lighting conditions, camera orientation (horizontal or vertical), etc., the camera sets the proper exposure. • During manual focusing, evaluative metering is based on the center AF point. • If the subject brightness and background light level are very different (strong backlight or spotlight), partial metering ( ) is recommended instead. Partial Metering This mode is effective when the background is much 5 brighter than the subject (due to backlighting, etc.). The metering is weighted at the center covering 9% of the viewfinder area. • The area covered by partial metering is shown on the left. Center-weighted Average Metering The metering is weighted at the center and then averaged for the entire scene. Selecting the Metering Mode and Drive Mode 75
