EXPOSURE METERING METHODS
SPOT METERING (
Spot
)
Spot metering only captures and analyzes a small area in the
middle of the screen image designated by a circle.
CENTER-WEIGHTED METERING (
Center-weighted
)
This method considers the entire image field. The image compo-
nents captured in the center will, however, impact on the
calculation of the exposure value more so than areas around the
edges.
MULTI-FIELD METERING (
Multi Point
)
This metering method is based on the detection of multiple values.
These values are used in an algorithm to calculate an exposure
value appropriate for an appropriate rendering of the assumed
main subject.
Depending on whether Live View mode is used, various metering
methods are available.
When using the rangefinder
Mostly center-weighted metering.
The light reflected by the light-colored shutter blades is captured
and measured by a photodiode.
When the metering range of the
exposure meter is undercut in a manual setting and very low light
density then the triangular LED ( ) in the viewfinder will flash as a
warning; analogously the LED on the right ( ) will flash when the
metering range of the exposure meter is overshot. Should a correct
exposure not be achievable using the available shutter speeds in
aperture priority mode, then the shutter speed icon will flash as a
warning. Undercutting or overshooting the required shutter speed
(the longest or shortest available) will cause the relevant icon to
flash. As exposure metering is done with the working aperture, the
same can be achieved by stopping down the lens.
