Setting the metering systems

This camera features three types of exposure metering

systems—Matrix Metering, Center-Weighted Metering and Spot

Metering.

Rotate the command dial while pressing

the Metering system button.

—The metering system indicators in the LCD

panel appear in sequence as shown below.

M : Matrix Metering

Data on scene brightness and contrast are detected by the

camera’s 5-segment advanced matrix sensor. By analyzing

these data, the camera’s built-in computer is able to provide

correct exposure even in extremely complex lighting situations.

: Center-Weighted Metering

This system concentrates the meter's sensitivity on the 12mm-

dia. circle in the viewfinder. This type of metering is useful in

situations where you want to base exposure on a specific,

centrally located area in the scene.

[•] : Spot Metering

Most of the meter's sensitivity is concentrated in the 5mm-dia.

circle in the center of the viewfinder. This meter is effective when

precise measurement of a particular portion of the subject is

required.
