The following table helps explain the settings in more detail: Icon Setting Description Average The camera uses the entire scene region to measure and calculate exposure. Use this setting when you want everything in the picture to be used equally when calculating exposure. None Center- The camera uses a large area in the center of Weighted the scene region to measure and calculate exposure. This setting is good to use when the subject is in the center of the frame. Exposure will be based more on the subject than on its surroundings. This is the default setting. Spot The camera uses a small area in the center of the scene region to measure and calculate exposure. This can be useful in backlit scenes or when the subject is very dark or light compared to the rest of the scene. When using this setting, put the subject of the picture in the center of the viewfinder, then press the Shutter button halfway down to lock the exposure and focus on the spot in the center, and then recompose the scene as desired. If the new setting is anything other than the default setting of Center-Weighted, the icon for the setting (in the table above) will appear in the Live View screen. The new setting remains in effect until it is changed again or until the camera is turned off (unless AE Metering is checked in the Remembered Settings menu - see page 90). 46 HP Photosmart 945 User's Manual
