Metering

MENU button.
2. Press the DOWN button and the cursor will be shifted to the
main menu.
3. Select the [METERING] menu by pressing the UP/DOWN button.

- Multi pattern metering :
Exposure will be calculated based on an average of the
available light in the image area. However, the calculation will
be biased towards the centre of the image area.
- Spot metering :
Use this function when there is backlight or when
photographing a subject that has little contrast. In backlighting
conditions adjust the light metering to suit the subject matter.
6. Press the OK button to confirm the setting.
Press the menu button twice and the menu display will disappear. Take a picture.
INFORMATION
The default metering mode is Multi pattern metering.
If the subject is not the centre of the focus, do not use the spot metering as there may be an
exposure error. In this case, use exposure compensation.
When the power is turned off, the changed setting value returns to the initial value.
