the subject at the center.

(about 2% of the frame) with the camera
pointed at the object you wish to meter.
Exposure will be adjusted according to the
brightness at the metered point.

Press the shutter button halfway.
Normally, the camera will start metering when the shutter button is pressed halfway
and lock exposure while the shutter button is held in this position.
ISO sensitivity
Increasing ISO sensitivity increases noise (graininess) but allows photographs to be
taken when lighting is poor. The setting recommended in most situations is [AUTO],
which starts at ISO 200 — a value that balances noise and dynamic range — and then
adjusts ISO sensitivity according to shooting conditions.
