The Shooting Menu
Metering ( Only)
The metering menu offers a choice of three me-
tering modes that determine how the camera
sets exposure.
Notes on Metering
When the digital zoom is in effect, the camera automatically switches to
(Center-Weighted). The metering target doesn’t appear.
When the lens is rotated to point in the same direction as the monitor, the cam-
era automatically switches from (Spot) or (Center-Weighted) to
(Matrix).
Metering Target
When (Spot) or (Cen-
ter-Weighted) is selected, the
metering target is indicated in
the center of the monitor.
Mode When to Use It
Matrix
Compares measurements from multi areas of frame with library of
typical compositions to produce optimal exposure for entire image.
Best choice in most circumstances.
Spot
Camera measures light in area shown by circle in center of monitor.
Ensures that subject in metering target will be correctly exposed
even when background is much brighter or darker. Can be used
with AF (AE) lock (37) to meter off-center subjects.
Center-
Weighted
Use for portraits; adjusts exposure according to lighting at the cen-
ter of the frame, but still preserves background details. Can be
used with AF (AE) lock
( 37) to meter off-center subjects.
