Metering Modes
Partial Metering
This mode is effective when the background is much
brighter than the subject (due to backlighting, etc.).
The metering is weighted at the center covering
13.5% of the viewfinder area.
Spot Metering
This is for metering a particular part of the subject or
scene. The metering is weighted at the center
covering 3.8% of the viewfinder area.
Centerweighted Average Metering
The metering is weighted at the center and then
averaged for the entire scene.
AF Point-Linked Spot Metering
To make AF point selection faster, the selectable AF
points can be limited to 11 (C.Fn-13-1) or 9 (C.Fn-13-
3). When C.Fn-13-1 or C.Fn-13-3 has been set, the
manually-selected AF point is linked to 3.8% spot
metering. (→p.66, 136)
During continuous shooting in the spot metering mode, AE lock is set automatically
without the <
> indicator displayed in the viewfinder.
C.Fn-13-2 can limit the manually-selectable AF points to only 11 while keeping the
spot metering linked to the center AF point. (→p.66, 136)
