Advanced still image shooting
Spot metering ( )
Spot metering allows you to meter for the
subject directly in a small area of the whole
image. This lets you adjust the exposure to
the subject even when the subject is backlit
or there is strong contrast between the
subject and the background.
a Set the mode dial to P, S, A, M,
SCN or .
b Press and hold (metering
mode) and select the desired
metering mode with the
command dial.
c When selecting Spot metering
in Step 2, position the spot
metering cross hair on one
point of the subject you want
to shoot.
• When using center-weighted metering or spot
metering, to focus on the same spot as used for
metering, we recommend using the center
weighted AF range finder frame (page 65).
• You cannot select the metering mode when
using the NightShot/NightFraming function.

You can manually shift the exposure value
determined by the camera. Use this mode
when you do not get the proper exposure,
for instance, the subject and its background
have high contrast (light and dark). The
value can be set a range from +2.0EV to
–2.0EV, in 1/3EV increments.
