Description
o
(multi)
The camera instantly determines exposure based on an analysis of
composition, color, and brightness distribution. Recommended in
most situations.
p
(center-
weighted)
The camera meters the entire frame but assigns the greatest weight
to the area at the center.
v
(spot)
The camera meters lighting conditions in an area at the center of the
frame equivalent to 2% of the total. Recommended with backlit sub-
jects and in other cases in which the background is much brighter or
darker than the main subject.
w
(average)
Exposure is set to the average for the entire frame. Provides consis-
tent exposure across multiple shots with the same lighting, and is
particularly eff ective for landscapes and portraits of subjects dressed
in black or white.
