Metering There are four ways of measuring the brightness of a subject. Select the way best suited to your purpose. Digital ESP metering Meters the center of the subject and the surrounding area separately. Spot metering Exposure is determined by metering within the metering target area. In this mode, a subject can be shot with optimal exposure regardless of the background light. gP.97 Multi-metering Meters the brightness of the subject at up to 8 different points to set the optimal exposure based on the average brightness. This method is useful with a high contrast subject. gP.99 Center-weighted metering Meters the brightness over a wide area with emphasis on the center of the screen. This method is used when you do not want to let the brightness of the surrounding area affect the picture. gP.97 5 Spot metering / Center-weighted metering - Selecting the metering area Mode dial 1 Turn the control dial while holding down 4 and select 3 or 2. • 3 or 2 is displayed on the control panel.
