Selecting the Metering Method

segment
The sensor meters the brightness in multiple zones. (default setting)
Even in backlit locations, this mode automatically determines
what level of brightness is in which portion and automatically
adjusts exposure.

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.

of the sensor.
You can use this in combination with the AE Lock function (p.87)
when a subject is too small to obtain a correct exposure.

• In [5. Link AE to AF Point] (p.72) of the [A Custom Setting 1] menu, you can
