q Selecting the Metering ModeN
r Spot metering
This is for metering a specific spot of the subject or
scene. Spot metering covers approx. 1.3% of the
viewfinder area at the center. The spot metering
circle will be displayed in the viewfinder.
e Center-weighted average metering
The metering is weighted at the center and then
averaged for the entire scene.
With q (Evaluative metering), the exposure setting will be locked when
you press the shutter button halfway and focus is achieved (in One-Shot
AF mode). In the w (Partial metering), r (Spot metering), and e
(Center-weighted average metering) modes, the exposure is set at the
moment the picture is taken. (Pressing the shutter button halfway does
not lock the exposure.)
When <r> (Spot metering) is set, you can display <z> in the
viewfinder (p.409).
