Features & Usage
Metering Options
By default, the camera measures the brightness of the entire
picture, with emphasis on the center. This is known as “center-
weighted” metering. You can also use “spot” metering to
correctly expose a specific part of the picture. Spot metering
can be useful if the subject of a picture is much brighter or
much darker than its surroundings, or if the subject is not
centered in the frame.
To select metering options
1. On the Settings menu, tap Metering, and then tap Spot or
Center-Weighted.
2. If you choose Spot metering, a green box displayed in the
digital viewfinder represents the area that will be used to
determine exposure settings. In the digital viewfinder, tap
the area of the image on which you want to base the
exposure settings.
Tapping the digital viewfinder to zoom in on a subject does not work
when the camera is in spot-metering mode.
