MCenter-weighted Metering
Metering is weighted at the center of the
viewfinder. Use this metering when you want
to compensate for the exposure by
experience, instead of leaving it to the
camera. The illustration shows that
sensitivity increases as the pattern height
increases (center). This mode does not
automatically compensate for backlit scenes.
NSpot Metering
The brightness is measured only within a
limited area at the center of the viewfinder.
You can use this in combination with the AE
Lock (p.121) when the subject is extremely
small and the correct exposure is difficult to
obtain.
Linking AE to AF Point during Multi-segment
Metering
In [6. Link AE to AF Point] of the [A Custom Setting 1] menu (p.91),
you can link the exposure and AF point in the focusing area during
multi-segment metering.
1
Off Exposure is set separately from the AF point. (default setting)
2
On Exposure is set in accordance with the AF point.
Setting the Meter Operating Time
You can set the exposure metering time to [10 sec.] (default setting),
[3 sec.] or [30 sec.] in [4. Meter Operating Time] of the [A Custom
Setting 1] menu (p.91).
