Notes on ESP metering
The ESP metering mode works properly for the
majority of subjects, but it may not be as effective
in the following cases:
When the subject is too small
In this case, the metering method is practically the
same as the center-weighted averaged metering.
When the subject is not in the center of the
viewfinder
Because ESP metering measures with emphasis on
the center of the viewfinder frame, it will give
substantially the same result as the center-weighted,
averaged metering. In this case, use manual ex-
posure in ESP metering mode as follows.
Manual exposure in ESP metering mode
Set the metering mode switch to the ESP and the
exposure mode to manual.
Compose your photograph.
Aim the camera so that your subject is located
in the center of the viewfinder. Now, the
mark will turn on.
Set the shutter speed at the same value as
indicated in the viewfinder.
Reframe your subject again as you originally
did in
, then focus and shoot it by depressing
the shutter release button.
