L
Multi-segment
metering
The sensor meters the brightness in multiple different
zones. (Default setting)
Even in backlit locations, this mode automatically
determines what level of brightness is in which portion
and automatically adjusts exposure.
M
Center-weighted
metering
Metering is weighted at the center of the sensor.
The sensitivity increases at the center and no automatic
adjustment is performed even during backlit scenes.
N
Spot metering
The brightness is measured only within a limited area at
the center of the sensor.
You can use this in combination with the AE Lock
function (p.96) when the subject is extremely small and
a correct exposure is difficult to obtain.
• When the capture mode is set to
B
(Auto Picture),
!
(Scene), or
C
(Movie), the metering method is fixed to
L
.
• The metering method can also be changed using the control panel.
