analysis of composition, color, and brightness distribu-
tion. Recommended in most situations.

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 subjects and in other cases
in which the background is much brighter or darker than
the main subject.

Exposure is set to the average for the entire frame.
Provides consistent exposure across multiple shots with
the same lighting, and is particularly eff ective for land-
scapes and portraits of subjects dressed in black or white.
