Selecting
the
metering
mode
You can select a metering mode (a method whereby the camera measures the brightness
of
a
subject).
Set the metering mode lever to the desired mode.
~
(Multi
segment)
This divides the whole screen into 40 segments to measure light (40-segment honeycomb
pattern metering). This is suitable for general shooting, including shooting into direct sunlight.
~
(Center
weighted)
While emphasizing the central area
of
the screen, this mode measures the average brightness
of
the entire screen.
If
you shoot directly into the sunlight or the subject is not
in
the center
of
the image, you must use exposure compensation (page 45).
EI
(Spot)
This mode measures light only in the spot metering circle
in
the center
of
the frame. This is
suitable for shooting a subject with strong contrast or measuring the light
of
a specific area
of
the screen.
If
the area
to
be measured is not in the center
of
the screen, use AE lock
to
take the
picture (page 46).

'Q'
Multi segment metering
The screen
of
this camera is equipped with 39 honeycomb sharped metering
elements and one metering element that covers the surrounding area. These
elements work
in
sync with auto focus, allowing the camera to accurately
measure the position and brightness
of
the subject
in
order to determine the
exposure.
•
In
multi segment metering, if the focus is locked, the exposure (the shutter
speed and the aperture) is locked simultaneously (only when _ (Single-
shot AF) or
rJIJ (Automatic AF)).
