These values are recalculated every time another metering point is added. The average for the 2 metering points. The average is always shown at the center of the bar. The reading when x was pressed. The number of Z indicates the number of times you have pressed the button. The distance Z is from the center of the bar indicates the difference between the metered and average readings. Indicates how much the present exposure you are metering differs from the average exposure value. The present exposure can be fixed by pressing the shutter button halfway. (The present exposure is not added to the average value unless you press x.) 5 When Z moves more than ±3 from the center of the bar (the average reading), red XY appear.
