Digital ESP metering
ESP
The camera meters and calculates the light levels or light level differences in
the center and other areas of the image separately. Recommended for
shooting under conditions where there is high contrast between the center of
the screen and the area around it, such as when shooting backlit subjects or
under excessively bright light.
Center weighted averaging metering
This metering mode provides the average
metering between the subject and the
background lighting, placing more weight on
the subject at the center. Use this mode
when you do not want the light level of
background to affect the exposure value.
Spot metering
The camera meters a very small area around
the center of the subject, defined by the spot
metering area mark in the viewfinder. Use
this mode for intensively backlit subjects, etc.
