q Evaluative Metering
This is the camera’s standard metering
mode suited for most subjects even
under backlit conditions. After detecting
the subject’s position in the viewfinder;
the brightness, background, front and
back lighting conditions; and camera
orientation (horizontal or vertical), the
camera sets the proper exposure.
w Partial Metering
Effective when the background is much
brighter than the subject due to
backlighting, etc. The metering is
weighted at the center covering about
8.5% of the viewfinder area.
r Spot Metering
This is for metering a specific part of the
subject or scene. The metering is
weighted at the center covering about
2.4% of the viewfinder area.
