Multi metering mode

The exposure is measured and calculated for the entire area of the screen. By dividing the entire

area of the screen, the exposure level for each unit is calculated. A well balanced exposure can be
obtained.

Spot metering mode

The exposure is measured in a very small area at the center of the screen. It is possible to calculate
the exposure of a subject without being affected by the surrounding environment.
