(multi)
The camera instantly determines exposure based on an analysis
of composition, color, and brightness distribution. Recommend-
ed 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 at the center
of the frame equivalent to 2% of the total. 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 con-
sistent exposure across multiple shots with the same lighting,
and is particularly eff ective for landscapes and portraits of sub-
jects dressed in black or white.
