Light Metering Mode
The camcorder measures the light
reflected from the subject in order to
calculate the optimal exposure settings.

Appropriate for standard shooting conditions,
including backlit scenes. The camcorder
divides the picture into several areas and the
light is measured in all of them to achieve the
optimal exposure for the subject.

screen, giving more weight to the subject in the
center.
[ SPOT]
Meters only the area within the spot AE point
