Center-weighted average metering
The metering is averaged for the entire scene
with the screen center weighted more heavily.
This metering mode is for advanced experts.
With
q
(Evaluative metering), the exposure setting will be locked when you
press the shutter button halfway and focus is achieved. In the
w
(Partial
metering),
r
(Spot metering), and
e
(Center-weighted average metering)
modes, the exposure is set at the moment the picture is taken. (Pressing the
shutter button halfway does not lock the exposure.)
