[Average]
The entire screen is metered by averaging.
A stable exposure can be achieved even in a
capture environment where there are notable
brightness differences within the screen.
Use this mode to stabilize the exposure in locations
where vehicles or people are moving.
[ S pot]
The center of the screen is metered.
An appropriate exposure can be achieved for the
subject at the center of the screen regardless of the
brightness/darkness on the periphery of the screen.
Use this mode if you want to adjust the exposure to
the center of the screen because the subject is
receiving a spotlight or backlight, etc.
