RECORDING > PHOTOMETRY offers a choice of the following metering options:
The selected option will only take effect if FOCUS > SUBJECT DETECTION SETTING is disabled.
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| o MULTI |
The camera instantly determines exposure based on an analysis of composition, color, and brightness distribution. Recommended in most situations. |
| p CENTER WEIGHTED |
The camera meters the entire frame but assigns the greatest weight to the area at the center. |
| v SPOT |
The camera meters lighting conditions in an area equivalent to 2% of the frame. Recommended with backlit subjects and in other cases in which the background is much brighter or darker than the main subject. |
| w AVERAGE |
Exposure is set to the average for the entire frame. Provides consistent exposure regardless of composition or subjects, and is particularly effective for landscapes and portraits of subjects dressed in black or white. |
