q Evaluative metering
This is a general-purpose metering mode suited
even for backlit subjects. The camera sets the
exposure automatically to suit the scene.
w Partial metering

than the subject due to backlighting, etc. The gray
area in the left figure is where the brightness is
metered to obtain the standard exposure.
r Spot metering
This is for metering a specific spot of the subject or
scene. The gray area in the left figure is where the
brightness is metered to obtain the standard
exposure. This metering mode is for advanced
users.

The brightness is metered at the image center and
then averaged for the entire scene. This metering
mode is for advanced users.
