Metering is weighted at the center of the
viewfinder. Use this metering when you want
to compensate 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.
With spot metering, brightness is measured
only within a limited area at the center of the
viewfinder as shown in the illustration. You
can use this in combination with the AE lock
(p.108) when the subject is extremely small
and the correct exposure is difficult to obtain.
