Selecting the Film Advance Mode
In the One-Shot AF and AI Focus AF (except AI Servo AF) modes (→page
55), when you press the shutter button halfway and focus is achieved, the
exposure is locked automatically at the same time.
The camera has three metering modes: Evaluative, partial, and center-
weighted average metering. Evaluative metering is the standard meter-
ing mode. Partial metering is set automatically when AE lock is used
(→page 44), and centerweighted average metering is set automatically
in the < > mode (→page 42).
Evaluative metering
This is an all-around metering mode suited even for backlit subjects.The
viewfinder field is divided into 35 metering zones to which the three AF
points are linked for evaluative metering.The camera determines the main
subject’s size, position, brightness, background, front and back lighting, etc.,
so that it can select the proper exposure for the subject at all times.
Partial metering
This is particularly effective when the background is much brighter than
the subject due to backlighting, etc.This method uses a center area of
approximately 9.5% of the screen.
• The area covered by partial metering is shown on the left.
Centerweighted average metering
The metering is weighted at the center and then averaged for the entire
scene.
Two film advance modes are provided: single-frame and continuous shooting.
