Selecting the Metering Method
L
Multi-segment
metering
The sensor meters the brightness in 16 different zones.
(default setting)
Even in backlit locations, this mode automatically
determines what level of brightness is in which portion
and automatically adjusts exposure.
M
Center-weighted
metering
Metering is weighted at the center of the sensor.
The sensitivity increases at the center and no automatic
adjustment is performed even during backlit scenes.
N Spot metering
The brightness is measured only within a limited area at
the center of the sensor.
You can use this in combination with the AE Lock
function (p.82) when the subject is extremely small and a
correct exposure is difficult to obtain.
• You can also change the setting from the [A Rec. Mode 1] menu.
• In [2. Link AE to AF Point] (p.68) of the [A Custom Setting 1] menu, you can
link the exposure and AF point in the focusing area during multi-segment
metering.
