Contax 167MT User Manual

The camera
provides
two
metering methods: center-
weighted
metering and spot
metering. Choose either
method according
to
your
photographic
obiect and
shooting
conditions.
<Center-weighted
Metering>
(Main
Switch at
"E")
This
method measures the
light
by
placing
emphasis on
the central
part
of the
picture
frame to
measure
exposure
and
also takes
into
account
the brightness of the
surrounding
area.
lt is
suited
not only
for
ordinary shots,
but
also for taking
fast-moving subjects
because it reacts
well to fluctuations of
light.

<Spot Metering>
(Main
Switch at
"
O")
This method measures
only the brightness of the
subject
in the microprism in
the
center of the viewfinder
to
determine the exposure. lt is useful for shooting
backlighted
portraits
or
spotlighted stage scenes
where
the subject and
its
background are extremely
different
in
brightness, as well as for
obtaining
a
dramatic effect by
measuring
only a
particular part
of the subject.
