Center-weighted Metering
Metering is weighted at the center of the
viewfinder. Use this metering when you want
to compensate for the exposure by
experience, instead of leaving it to the
camera. The illustration shows that
sensitivity increases as the pattern height
increases (center). This mode does not
automatically compensate for backlit scenes.
N
Spot Metering
The brightness is measured only within a
limited area at the center of the viewfinder.
You can use this in combination with the AE
Lock (p.121) when the subject is extremely
small and the correct exposure is difficult to
obtain.
