Setting Exposure Metering

Use Exposure Metering to ensure that the proper amount of light enters the camera lens.

NOTE: Exposure Metering is available in Landscape, Close-up, and PAS modes.

  1. In any Still mode, press the Menu button.

  2. Press to highlight Exposure Metering , then press the OK button.


  3. Press to highlight an option, then press the OK button.

Multi-pattern (default)—evaluates lighting conditions throughout the image to give an optimum picture exposure. Ideal for general picture taking.

Center-weight—evaluates the lighting conditions of the subject centered in the viewfinder. Ideal for backlit subjects.

Center-spot—similar to Center-weighted, except the metering is concentrated on a smaller area of the subject centered in the viewfinder. Ideal when you need an exact exposure of a specific area in the picture.

  4. Press the Menu button to exit the menu.

This setting remains until you change the Mode dial or turn off the camera; or, if it was set while in PAS mode, until you use Reset (Resetting Manual Settings to Defaults) to return to the default setting.
