Option Description Multi: • Your camera divides the scene into several areas, and then measures the light intensity of each area. • Suitable for general photos.

Center-weighted: • Your camera averages the meter reading of the entire frame with emphasis placed on the center. • Suitable for photos with subjects in the center of the frame. Selecting a light source (White balance) The color of your photo depends on the type and quality of the light source. If you want the color of your photo to be realistic, select a white balance setting that matches the lighting conditions, such as Daylight, Cloudy, or Tungsten.
