More on Shooting Changing A (Auto) Mode Settings (Shooting Menu) Metering A (auto) M d (Shooting menu) M Metering The process of measuring the brightness of the subject to determine exposure is known as metering. Choose how the camera meters exposure. G Matrix (default setting) Uses a wide area of the screen for metering. This metering mode provides the appropriate exposure for a variety of shooting conditions. Recommended for typical shooting. q Center-weighted The camera meters the entire frame but assigns greatest weight to the subject in the center of the frame. Classic meter for portraits; preserves background details while letting lighting conditions at the center of the frame determine exposure. Can be used with focus lock (A 51) to meter off-center subjects. B Note on Metering While digital zoom is in effect, metering is set to center-weighted or spot metering.
