Metering is weighted at the center of the screen.
Use this metering when you want to compensate
the exposure by experience, instead of leaving it
to the camera. The illustration shows that
sensitivity increases as the pattern height
increases (center). This mode does not
automatically compensate for backlit scenes.
With spot metering, brightness is measured
only within a limited area at the center of the
screen as shown in the illustration. You can
use this in combination with the AE lock
(p.102) when the subject is extremely small
and proper exposure is difficult to obtain.
