Different Light Metering Modes
There are three reective metering modes available.
Centre Weighted.
Centre Spot.
Spot Metering.
Centre Weighted
Used for light situations where there is no
particular dominance of light or dark areas
across the tonal range. Takes into account
approximately 25% of the image seen in the
viewnder.
Centre Spot
Emphasizes the central section of the focusing
screen equivalent to approximately 25% of the
image. This provides a balanced assessment
and is a typical choice where the main subject
is in the centre of the image.
Spot
The sensitive area is equivalent to
approximately 2.5% of the image area (the
central spot on the viewnder screen). Any
parts of the image outside of this area will
not affect the exposure reading. This provides
a very accurate measurement of specic
tones. Also excellent for tonal comparison
measurements.
