Metering
There are three ways of measuring the brightness of a subject.
Digital ESP metering
Meters the center of the subject and the surrounding
area separately.
Spot metering
Exposure is determined by metering within the AF
target area. In this mode, a subject can be shot with
optimal exposure regardless of the background
light.

P.75
Multi-metering
Meters the brightness of the subject at up to 8
different points to set the optimal exposure based on
the average brightness. This method is useful with a
high contrast subject.
