SELECTABLE METERING
Fourteen-segment honeycomb-pattern metering uses information from
the autofocus system to set the metering pattern according to the
position of the main subject. The light metered by each applicable
segment is then evaluated to determine the degree of spot-lighting or
backlighting present in your scene. The local focus-area (LED)
momentarily displays the sensor being used when the shutter release
button is pressed partway down.
Fourteen-segment honeycomb-pattern metering is the camera’s
standard metering mode and is appropriate for most photographic
situations.
