METERING MODES
Metering modes changes the metering pattern. If the
luminance levels of the scene are outside the metering
range, the metering indicator turns red.
Metering mode is selected with the function button and the
controller (p. 64).
Spot - uses a small area within the image to calculate
the exposure. When this mode is selected, a small circle
will appear in the middle of the live image indicating the
measuring area. The spot allows precise exposure
measurements of a particular object without being
influenced by extremely bright or dark areas within the
scene. When using spot metering with the Flex Focus
Point (p. 48), the spot circle can move with the focus
point. This function is selected in section 1 of the
recording menu (p. 90).
Multi-segment - uses 256 segments to measure luminance and color. This data
is combined with distance information to calculate the camera exposure. This
advanced metering system will give accurate worry-free exposures in almost all
situations.
Center weighted - a traditional metering method in film cameras. The system
measures light values over the entire image area with emphasis given the
center region.
Spot metering display
When the metering mode is set, an indicator appears on the
monitors.
