Function Reference

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.148)

when the subject is extremely small and

proper exposure is difficult to obtain.

Off Exposure is set separately from AF point.

On Exposure is set in accordance with AF point.

[A Custom Setting] menu (p.106). The default setting is [10 sec].
