Metering
Metering is a setting that determines your
subject’s correct exposure. The camera will
compute the brightness levels, contrast, and
amount of bright to dark parts in the scene
automatically.
Metering Options
Icon Settings Options

(Multi- then calculate each zone’s exposure via the camera’s

(Centre- extra weight to the centre. Use for backlit subjects.

Spot Only the small area at the centre of the screen determines
the exposure. Ideal for highlighting the main subject.

The ISO setting affects the camera’s
sensitivity to light.
An image taken at higher ISO
speeds may contain more “noise”
or graininess than an image taken
at lower speeds.
