while using push auto iris with the camera mode set to [Manual]).

[Camera Setup] > [Light Metering]
2 Select the desired option and then press SET.
Options
[Backlight]: Suitable when shooting backlit scenes.
[Standard]: Averages the light metered from the entire screen, giving more weight to the subject in the
center.
[Spotlight]: Use this option when shooting a scene in which only a certain part of the picture is lit, for
example, when the subject is lit by a spotlight.
NOTES
• When the camera mode is set to [Manual], changing the light metering mode will not affect the
exposure. Adjust the exposure manually to a suitable level.
