The photometry modes are effective for the following subjects
◆
h
MULTI
In this mode, the camera uses automatic scene recognition to analyze the subject and provide
optimum exposure in a wide range of shooting conditions. This mode should be used for everyday
photography.
h
SPOT
This mode is useful for subjects with strongly contrasting light and dark areas where you want to
achieve the correct exposure for a particular feature.
h
AVERAGE
The advantage of this mode is that the exposure tends not to change for different compositions or
subjects. This mode is particularly effective for shots of people wearing black or white clothing and
shots of scenery.
