Metering mode k Changing the metering system e Digital ESP metering The camera measures the light levels and calculates the light level differences in 49 separate areas of the image. This precision ensures accurate metering even when there is a lot of contrast between the center of the screen and the area around it, such as when shooting backlit subjects or shooting under very bright light. This mode is recommended for general use. Setting the AF synchronized function [ESP+AF] to ON operates the metering area with the frame in focused in AF as the center. 4 Center weighted averaging metering This metering mode provides the average metering between the subject and the background lighting, placing more weight on the subject at the center. 5 Use this mode when you do not want the light level of the background to affect the exposure value. Metering area Exposure, image and color n Spot metering The camera meters a very small area around the center of the subject, defined by the spot metering area mark in the viewfinder. Use this mode when there is very strong backlight. nHI Spot metering - highlight control When the overall background is bright, white areas of the image will come out gray if you use the camera's automatic exposure. Using this mode enables the camera to shift to over-exposure, allowing accurate white reproduction. Metering area is the same as spot metering. nSH Spot metering - shadow control When the overall background is dark, black areas of the image will come out gray if you use the camera's automatic exposure. Using this mode enables the camera to shift to under-exposure, allowing accurate black reproduction. Metering area is the same as spot metering. Metering area 74
