Using autofocus spot metering
In certain situations, or for certain subjects, it can
be crucial for the effect that particular details are
reproduced very clearly. For portraits, for example,
it is normally recommended that the eyes are very
well-defined.
The autofocus spot metering field (3.17) is much
smaller than that of standard measuring (3.18)
and allows you to selectively define this kind of
details – and it is still automatic.
Note:
Autofocus spot metering is not available in
AUTO mode or K.
Setting the function:
1. Set the record/review selector (1.14) to one of
the record modes and the exposure mode dial
(1.15) to
P, A, T or M.
2. Press the MENU button (1.27).
3. Select the z SPOT AF function in the menu
by pressing (3x) down on the direction pad
(1.29).
