Metering mode There are 3 ways of measuring the subject brightness: Digital ESP metering, Center weighted averaging metering and spot metering. Select the most suitable mode depending on the shooting condition. 1 While holding down the (metering) button, rotate the main dial or sub dial to select the metering mode you want to use. Sub dial (Digital ESP metering) (Center weighted averaging metering) Control panel (Spot metering) button Main dial 5 Viewfinder No indication (Digital ESP metering) (Center weighted (Spot metering) averaging metering) Ⅵ Digital ESP metering ESP Exposure The camera meters and calculates the light levels or light level differences in the center and other areas of the image separately. Recommended for shooting under conditions where there is high contrast between the center of the screen and the area around it, such as when shooting backlit subjects or under excessively bright light. Ⅵ 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. Use this mode when you do not want the light level of background to affect the exposure value. Metering area Ⅵ 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 for intensively backlit subjects, etc. Metering area 68
