Evaluative
Appropriate for standard shooting conditions,
including backlit scenes. The camera divides
images into several zones for metering. It
evaluates complex lighting conditions, such as
the position of the subject, the brightness, the
direct light, and the backlighting, and adjusts the
settings to the correct exposure for the main
subject.
Center Weighted
Avg.
Averages the light metered from the entire
frame, but gives greater weight to the subject
matter at the center.
Spot
Adjusts the exposure according to the subject in
the center of the frame (meters the area within
the spot AE point at the center of the LCD
monitor). Use this mode when there is a large
divergence in brightness between the subject
and surroundings.
