Metering Mode

Selects the metering mode that sets which part of the screen to measure for determining the exposure.

Menu item details

 Multi:

Measures light on each area after dividing the total area into multiple areas and determines the proper exposure of the
entire screen (Multi-pattern metering).

 Center:

Measures the average brightness of the entire screen, while emphasizing the central area of the screen (Center-
weighted metering).

 Spot:

Measures only inside the metering circle. This mode is suitable for measuring light on a specified part of the entire
screen. The size of the metering circle can be selected from [Spot: Standard] and [Spot: Large]. The position of the
metering circle depends the setting for [Spot Metering Point].

 Entire Screen Avg.:

Measures the average brightness of the entire screen. The exposure will be stable even if the composition or the position
of the subject changes.

 Highlight:

Measures the brightness while emphasizing the highlighted area on the screen. This mode is suitable for shooting the
subject while avoiding overexposure.

Hint

When [Spot] is selected and [Focus Area] is set to either [Flexible Spot], [Expand Flexible Spot], [Tracking: Flexible Spot] or
[Tracking: Expand Flexible Spot] while [Spot Metering Point] is set to [Focus Point Link], the spot metering point can be
coordinated with the focus area.

When [Multi] is selected and [Face Priority in Multi Metering] is set to [On], the camera measures brightness based on detected
faces.

When [Metering Mode] is set to [Highlight] and the [D-Range Optimizer] function is activated, the brightness and the contrast will
be corrected automatically by dividing the image into small areas and analyzing the contrast of light and shadow. Make settings
based on the shooting circumstances.

Note

[Metering Mode] is locked to [Multi] in the following shooting modes:

[Intelligent Auto]
Other zoom functions than the optical zoom

In [Highlight] mode, the subject may be dark if a brighter part exists on the screen.
