as shown in the viewfinder (approx. 9 mm in diameter).

low contrast scene or a subject in silhouette against sunlight
without trying to compensate for the dark subject.
Once you select the Metering Mode, the camera continuously holds that mode until you change the Metering
Mode or set the mode dial to "

" mode.
