Metering mode Description
[Center-weighted] Meters the entire image, focusing on
the center of the image.
A correct exposure is obtained for a
subject near the center of the image,
even though the periphery may be
slightly darker or lighter.
Use for subjects that are in the center
of the image.
[Average] Meters the entire image by averaging.
A uniform exposure is obtained even
when the scene has significant
differences in brightness.
Use for scenes where, for example,
cars are passing through or people
are entering and exiting.
[Spot] Meters the center of the image.
The correct exposure is obtained for a
subject near the center of the image,
irrespective of the brightness of the
periphery.
Use if the subject is lit by a spotlight or
is backlit, where the exposure should
be adjusted to the center of the
image.
