Setting Exposure Metering in PASM Mode
Your camera uses matrix metering to set exposure values; it evaluates light
levels in multiple locations within the scene to provide the best exposure for
the main subject.
Use Exposure Metering to target specific areas of a scene for evaluation.
NOTE: Exposure Metering is available in PASM mode only.
1 In PASM mode, press the Menu button.
2 Press to highlight Exposure Metering , then press the OK
button.
3 Press to highlight an option, then
press the OK button.
Multi-pattern (default)—evaluates
lighting conditions throughout the image
to give an optimum picture exposure.
Ideal for general picture taking.
Center-weight—evaluates the lighting
conditions of the subject centered in the
viewfinder. Ideal for backlit subjects.
Center-spot—similar to
Center-weighted, except the metering is
concentrated on a smaller area of the
subject centered in the viewfinder. Ideal
when you need an exact exposure of a
specific area in the picture.
4 Press the Menu button to exit the menu.
This setting remains until you change it
or use Reset (see page 40) to return to the
default setting.
