Center weighted: a traditional metering method in film cameras. The system measures light
values over the entire image area with emphasis given the central region.
Spot metering: uses a small area within the image to cal-
culate the exposure. When this mode is selected, the LCD
monitor will automatically activate if off and a small circle
will appear in the middle of the live image indicating the measuring
area. The spot allows precise exposure measurements of a partic-
ular object without being influenced by extremely bright or dark
areas within the scene. If the LCD monitor is turned off, the spot-
metering mode will remain active.
Multi-segment metering: uses 256 segments to measure luminance and color. This data is
combined with distance information to calculate the camera exposure. This advanced meter-
ing system will give accurate worry-free exposures in almost all situations.

ence to the ambient exposure by as much as 2 Ev. For information on
the use of flash compensation, see page 74.
Select the flash compensation option on the custom 1 section of the
multi-function recording mode menu. Use the up/down keys to adjust the
degree of compensation (1). Press the central controller button to set
