Specifying the Metering Mode (Metering)
Multi
Multi-pattern metering divides the image into sections and
measures the light in each section for a balanced exposure reading.
This type of metering provides error-free exposure settings for a
wide range of shooting conditions.
Center
Weighted
Center weighted metering concentrates on the center of the focus
area to measure light. This type of metering is best when you want
some level of control over contrast.
Spot
Spot metering takes readings at a very small area. Use this
metering method when you want exposure to be set according to
the brightness of a particular subject, without being affected by
surrounding conditions.
Optimizing Image Brightness (Lighting)
Extra
Performs a higher level of brightness correction than the “On” setting.
When this option is selected, it takes longer for the image to be stored
after the shutter button is pressed.
On Performs brightness correction.
