ZMetering Modes★ The camera has three metering modes: Evaluative, partial, and centerweighted averaging metering. The Basic Zone uses evaluative metering. In the Creative Zone, any of the three modes can be selected. 1 Press the button. (1) 2 Select the metering mode. • Turn the dial. • To start shooting again, press the shutter button halfway or press the button again. ZEvaluative metering This is the camera's standard metering mode suited for most shooting including backlit conditions. Based on the subject's position in the viewfinder, brightness, background, front or back lighting conditions, etc., the camera always calculates the proper exposure for the subject. • During manual focusing, evaluative metering is based on the center AF point. • If the subject brightness and background light level are very different (strong backlight or spotlight), partial metering (X) is recommended instead. XPartial metering This is effective for backlit subjects. An area covering about 10% of the viewfinder screen at the center is used for metering. The partial metering area is shown on the left. CCenter-weighted averaging metering The metering is weighted at the center and then averaged for the entire scene. Partial metering and FE lock can be linked to the active AF point.
