Effective where there are much brighter lights
around the subject due to backlight, etc. The
gray area in the left figure is approximately
where the brightness is metered to obtain the
standard exposure.
r Spot metering
Effective when metering a specific part of the
subject or scene. The gray area in the left figure
is approximately where the brightness is
metered to obtain the standard exposure. This
metering mode is for advanced users.
