EXPOSURE METERING METHODS
Optional methods are Spot metering, Center-Weighted and
Multi-Field metering.
Factory setting: Multi-FieldMulti-Field
SPOT METERING –
This metering method is concentrated exclusively on a small area
in the center of the image. The metering fields are joined together
when the exposure metering method SpotSpot is combined with the AF
metering methods SpotSpot, FieldField and ZoneZone. Exposure metering will then
occur at the point specified by the AF metering field, even if it is
moved.
CENTER-WEIGHTED METERING –
This method considers the entire image field. The subject elements
captured in the center will, however, impact on the calculation of
the exposure value more so than areas around the edges.
MULTI-FIELD METERING –
This metering method is based on the detection of multiple values.
These values are used in an algorithm to calculate an exposure
value appropriate for a good rendering of the assumed main
subject.

• The selected metering method is displayed in the header line
of the screen image.
Spot metering allows a shifting of the metering field:
▸ Press the joystick in the relevant direction
Notes
• The exposure information (ISO value, aperture, shutter speed
and light balance with exposure compensation scale) will help to
determine the settings required for correct exposure.
• The most important displays (ISO value, aperture and shutter
speed) will also appear in the top display.
