Metering
When the camera cannot calculate a desired exposure, you can change the metering method.
INFORMATION
The default metering mode is Multi pattern metering.
If the subject is not the centre of the focus, do not use the spot metering as there may be an
exposure error. In this case, use exposure compensation.

Exposure will be calculated based on an average of the
available light in the image area. However, the calculation will

conditions adjust the light metering to suit the subject matter.
