The camera divides the screen into 256 areas, meters the
brightness and determines the exposure.

weighted
metering
The camera takes a reading of the overall brightness of the
screen with the center of the screen having more influence
on the exposure.

Spot AE
metering
The camera determines the exposure by metering the
brightness only at the center of the screen.
• When the shutter release button is pressed halfway, the brightness is
metered and the exposure is determined.

Spot AE metering, center the subject on the screen and press and hold the
shutter release button halfway to lock the exposure, then compose your
picture again and press the shutter release button fully.
• The AE Metering setting may not be changed depending on the selected
shooting mode. Refer to “Functions Available for Each Shooting Mode”
