Center-weighted integral metering
Center-weighted integral metering also uses all
metered values but they are weighted differently.
This metering method also takes account of the
entire image field, although the parts of the sub-
ject situated in the center have more influence
on the exposure value calculation than the areas
at the margins.
It is suitable for subjects without high contrasts,
when the differently bright details are evenly dis-
tributed and/or when your main subject is to be
positioned in the center of the photograph.
It is particularly useful if you want convenience
but still want to be able to control and, if neces-
sary, selectively influence the exposure, e.g. in
conjunction with exposure compensation (see
"Exposure compensation”, p. 138) or with meter-
ing memory-lock (see "Metering memory-lock”,
p. 138).
