Metering Modes Evaluative Metering This is an all-around metering mode suited even for backlit subjects. The viewfinder is divided into 21 metering zones to which any AF point can be linked for evaluative metering. After detecting the main subject's size, position, brightness, background, front and back lighting, 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 (there is a strong backlight or spotlight), use partial metering ( ) or spot metering ( ) instead. 76
