Evaluative Metering
Appropriate for standard shooting conditions,
including backlit scenes. The camera divides
images into several zones for light metering.
The camera evaluates the complex lighting
conditions, such as the position of the subject,
the brightness, the background, the direct
light, and the backlighting, and adjusts the
settings to the correct exposure for the main
subject.
Center-Weighted
Averaging
Averages the exposure from the entire image,
but places more weight on the subject at the
center.
Spot AE
Point
Center
Meters the area within the spot AE point frame
at the center of the LCD monitor (or
viewfinder). Use this mode when the subject is
backlit or surrounded by bright light.
AF Point
Meters the spot AF point corresponding to the
AF frame.
