(Center weighted) While emphasizing the central area of the screen, this mode measures the average brightness of the entire screen. (Spot) This mode measures light only in the spot metering circle located in the center area. Shooting techniques • Use [Multi segment] metering for general shooting. • When there is a high contrast subject in the AF area, measure the light of the subject you want to shoot with the optimal exposure using the spot metering function and take advantage of AE lock shooting (page 122). Notes • When the exposure mode is set to [Intelligent Auto], [Superior Auto], or [Scene Selection], or when the zoom feature of the camera is used, [Metering Mode] is fixed to [Multi segment] and you cannot select other modes. 123
