Metering
The process of measuring the brightness of the subject to determine the
exposure is known as “metering.”
Use this option to set the method of how the camera meters exposure.
* To set focus and exposure for off-center subjects, change AF area mode to
manual and set the focus area to the center of the frame, and then use focus lock
(E21).
B Notes About Metering
• When digital zoom is in effect, Center-weighted or Spot is selected depending
on the magnification of an enlargement.
• This function may not be available to use in combination with other functions
(A46).
C Display on the Shooting Screen
When Center-weighted or Spot is selected, the metering range guide (A6) is
displayed (except when digital zoom is used).

Option Description
G
Matrix
(default setting)
The camera uses a wide area of the screen for metering.
Recommended for typical shooting.
q
Center-weighted
The camera meters the entire frame but assigns greatest
weight to the subject in the center of the frame. The
classic metering for portraits; it preserves background
details while letting lighting conditions in the center of
the frame determine exposure.*
r
Spot
The camera meters the area shown by the circle in the
center of the frame. This can be used when the subject
is much lighter or darker than the background. Ensure
that the subject is within the area shown by the circle
when shooting.*
