Three methods (metering modes) to measure the subject’s brightness
are provided. Normally, evaluative metering is recommended.
In Basic Zone modes, metering mode is set automatically.
1
Select [Metering mode].
Under the [z2] tab, select [Metering
mode], then press <0>.
2
Set the metering mode.
Select the desired metering mode,
then press <0>.
q Evaluative metering
General-purpose metering mode suited even
for backlit subjects. The camera sets the
exposure automatically to suit the scene.
w Partial metering
Effective where there are much brighter lights
around the subject due to backlight, etc. The
gray area in the left figure is where the
brightness is metered to obtain the standard
exposure.
e Center-weighted average metering
The brightness is metered at the image center
and then averaged for the entire scene. This
metering mode is for advanced users.
q Changing the Metering ModeN
With q (Evaluative metering), the exposure setting will be locked when you
press the shutter button halfway and focus is achieved. In the w (Partial
metering) and e (Center-weighted average metering) modes, the
exposure is set at the moment the picture is taken. (Pressing the shutter
button halfway does not lock the exposure.)
