Metering
If you cannot obtain suitable exposure conditions, you can change the metering method to take
brighter pictures. This can be set in Auto and Manual modes.
MULTI( ) : Exposure will be calculated based on an
average of the available light in the
image area. However, the calculation
will be biased towards the centre of the
image area. This is suitable for general
use.
SPOT( ) : Only the rectangular area in the center
of the LCD monitor will be metered for
light. This is suitable when the subject in the center is exposed correctly,
regardless of the back lighting.
The default metering mode is Multi pattern metering.
If the subject is not the centre of the focus area, do not use the spot metering as this may
result in an exposure error. In this circumstance, rather use exposure compensation.
The changed Metering mode will remain unchanged even after the power is turned off.
