5. Partial Meeting
This camera has an evaluative metering function which allows you to obtain the correct exposure without
exposure compensation in normal backlit photography (see p. 18). Use the partial metering mode, however, for
stage photography where there is a big difference in brightness between the main subject and the background,
and when you want to control the exposure.
· The partial metering mode can be used regardless of the camera's mode, except when the main switch is set
to the full auto position ( 0 ).
· The partial metering area is approximately 6.5% of the picture area.
· The AE lock mechanism automatically works in the partial metering mode.
AE lock:
The original exposure value remains locked as long as the
shutter button is pressed halfway, so even if you recompose
the picture, correct exposure on the main subject will not be
affected by changes in fighting conditions.
1) Put the main subject in the center and cover with the partial
metering mark.
2) Press the shutter button halfway.
3) While pressing the shutter button halfway, press the partial
metering button. (In the manual override, however, press the
partial metering button while pressing the manual aperture set
button.)
· A green asterisk ("*") indicating that the partial metering
mode and the AE lock are on appears in the viewfinder.
· You can remove your finger from the partial metering button
if you keep pressing the shutter button halfway.
4) Compose the picture while continuing to hold down the
shutter button, then press the shutter button completely to
take the picture.
