Metering
There are three ways of measuring the brightness of a subject.
Digital ESP metering Meters the center of the subject and the surrounding
area separately.
Spot metering Exposure is determined by metering within the AF
target area. In this mode, a subject can be shot with
optimal exposure regardless of the background
light. gP.79
Multi-metering Meters the brightness of the subject at up to 8
different points to set the optimal exposure based on
the average brightness. This method is useful with a
high contrast subject. gP.80
