Exposure Warnings
Users are warned when shooting subjects that are too bright or too dark with
an inappropriate exposure setting. At such times, when the correct exposure
cannot be obtained, users will be alerted by the numeric exposure display
that will ash on the external LCD or on the display inside the viewnder.
Warnings that the exposure is outside the metering range
• Program AE (P)

Average/spot auto
exposure metering
Exposure metering is performed after automatically selecting
average/spot exposure metering.• Depending on the subject
conditions, center-weighted average/spot exposure metering is
selected automatically, and the correct exposure is measured.
• Spot exposure metering is automatically selected when the
brightness of the spot exposure metering range becomes darker
than the brightness of the entire screen.
• If there is very little dierence between the spot exposure metering
value and center-weighted average exposure metering value, the
correct exposure level is obtained as the intermediate value.
Center-weighted
average/spot exposure
metering
The average brightness of the entire screen is measured,
emphasizing the center of the screen.
Center spot exposure
metering
The brightness of an area equivalent to 7.6% at screen center is
measured, and the exposure is determined. The circle at screen
center serves as a general guideline. This mode is suited to
measuring subjects with strong contrasts or measuring only screen
portions.
