Metering Mode: Selecting the metering mode
Selects the metering mode that sets which part of the subject to measure to determine the
exposure.
When the shooting mode is set to
, [Metering Mode] appears in [MENU].
For details on the Exposure, see page 12.
When using spot metering or center-weighted metering, setting [Focus] to [Center AF] is recommended to
focus on the metering position (page 31).
(Multi)
Divides into multiple regions and measures each region. The
camera determines a well-balanced exposure (Multi-pattern
metering).
(Center)
Measures the center of the image, and determines the
exposure based on the brightness of the subject there (Center-
weighted metering).
(Spot)
(Only for still image)
Measures only a part of the subject (Spot metering).
This function is useful when the subject is backlit or when there
