Metering
The process of measuring the brightness of the subject to determine exposure is
known as metering.
Choose how the camera meters exposure.

q Center-weighted
The camera meters the entire frame but assigns greatest weight to the subject in

while letting lighting conditions at the center of the frame determine exposure. Can
