Multi-spot metering
In this mode, up to fi ve readings – of
highlights, shadows or mid-tones – can be
taken and locked into memory. The cam-
era‘s computer will then average these. If
necessary, the resulting exposure can be
locked in for several shots.
Multi-spot metering is active in the
position of the switch. Separate readings
are taken by pressing the memo button
27. With the memo button depressed,
“1 Spot“ will be displayed for the fi rst
reading for about one second. After that,
the reading will be displayed as a shut-
ter-speed/aperture combination and put
in memory. This may be repeated up to
the fi fth reading. When fi ve separate read-
ings have been stored, the multi-spot dis-
play will blink. With the memo button
depressed, the averaged exposure will be
displayed as a shutter-speed/aperture com-
bination, while the last reading will appear
in the display when the memo button is
not pressed.
SPOT METERING
Spot metering
The central spot-metering sensor (covering
<1% of the frame) may be used to meter
important subject detail in the case of
backlight or high-contrast subjects. Since
this detail rarely coincides with the center
of the frame, the reading can be locked
in by pressing the memo button 27
(see “Memo function“, page 48). On the
standard focusing screen, the spot focus
area is equivalent to the split-image spot.
Setting dial 44 to will switch the camera
to spot metering. The mode is also dis-
played in the viewfi nder.
