The metering mode refers to the method the camera
measures the quantity of light. The camera measures the
amount of light in a scene, and in many of its modes, uses
the measurement to adjust various settings. For example, if a
subject looks darker than its actual color, the camera takes
an overexposed photo of it. If a subject looks lighter than its
actual color, the camera takes an underexposed photo of it.

• Multi
: The camera calculates the amount of light in multiple
areas. When light is sufficient or insufficient, the camera
adjusts the exposure by averaging the overall brightness of the
scene. This mode is suitable for general photos.
• Spot
: The camera calculates the amount of light in the centre.
When you take a photo in conditions where there is a strong
backlight behind a subject, the camera adjusts the exposure to
shoot a subject correctly.
• Centre-weighted
: The camera calculates a broader area than
the camera does in spot mode. It sums up the amount of light
in the centre portion of the shot (60–80 %) and that of the rest
of the shot (20–40 %).
