You can also use "spot" metering to correctly expose a specific part of the picture.

On the Settings menu, tap Metering, and then tap Spot or Center-Weighted. 2. If you choose Spot metering, a green box displayed in the digital viewfinder represents the area that will be used to determine exposure settings.
