The following table helps explain the settings in more detail:
If the new setting is anything other than the default setting of
Center-Weighted, the icon for the setting (in the table above)
will appear in the Live View screen.
The new setting remains in effect until it is changed again or
until the camera is turned off (unless AE Metering is checked in
the Remembered Settings menu - see page 90).
Icon Setting Description
Average The camera uses the entire scene region to
measure and calculate exposure. Use this
setting when you want everything in the picture
to be used equally when calculating exposure.
None Center-
Weighted
The camera uses a large area in the center of
the scene region to measure and calculate
exposure. This setting is good to use when the
subject is in the center of the frame. Exposure
will be based more on the subject than on its
surroundings. This is the default setting.
Spot The camera uses a small area in the center of
the scene region to measure and calculate
exposure. This can be useful in backlit scenes
or when the subject is very dark or light
compared to the rest of the scene. When using
this setting, put the subject of the picture in the
center of the viewfinder, then press the Shutter
button halfway down to lock the exposure and
focus on the spot in the center, and then
recompose the scene as desired.
