lighting conditions.

meter is active
Spot meter is primarily for shooting from inside of a car or other dark space
looking out into a brighter outside setting. Spot meter adjusts the exposure
for the absolute center of the scene, for example the road ahead instead of
the interior of the car.
If you are wanting optimum exposure of the inside of the car, filming mainly
the driver for example, choose Cnt center weighted average to expose for
the inside of the car.
Press the SHUTTER button to toggle between choices.
Press the POWER/MODE button to save whichever setting is showing on the screen and continue to the
next feature option.
