SHOOTING WITH MULTI-SPOT METERING
This is a partial metering of two or more spots on the
picture frame. It can be used to determine exposure by
taking into account various spots that differ in brightness.
The picture above shows an example in which the
exposure of the background should also be considered
while taking care to prevent underexposure of a girl. The
first spot metering is made on her face by bringing it in
the microprism section. Then the second spot metering is
made on her dress by directing the camera. Exposure is
determined from the average of the two metered values
to meet the photographer's requirement. It is also
possible to input more than two points in the same
procedure. Metering is possible as many times as you
want, but the spot metering allows only up to eight points
to be stored in memory. If more than eight points are
input, the last eight points are stored as a basis for
determining the exposure value.
