Light values are measured in eight segments within the image field, enabling the optimal exposure to be made under a variety of lighting conditions. With conventional averaged metering systems, underexposure of the subject results from the brightness of the background affecting the overall metering. With multi(8)-segment metering, the camera records the brightness in eight zones within the image field and uses these measurements to choose an exposure that will not underexpose the subject. The multi(8)-segment metering system also calculates exposure values for a scene to automatically compensate for high-contrast and other difficult lighting conditions. Even the beginner can achieve excellent results with ease. O
