including backlit scenes. The camera divides

the position of the subject, the brightness, the
direct light, and the backlighting, and adjusts the
settings to the correct exposure for the main
subject.
Center Weighted
Avg.

matter at the center.
Spot
Adjusts the exposure according to the subject in
the center of the frame (meters the area within

monitor). Use this mode when there is a large
