Metering Mode
(Multi segment) This mode measures light in each area after dividing the total
area into multiple areas and determines the proper exposure
of the entire screen.
(Center weighted) While emphasizing the central area of the screen, this mode
measures the average brightness of the entire screen.
(Spot) This mode measures light only in the spot metering circle
located in the center area.
