Setting Exposure Metering

Your camera uses matrix metering to set exposure values; it evaluates light levels in multiple locations within the scene to provide the best exposure for the main subject.

Use Exposure Metering to target specific areas of a scene for evaluation.

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 PAS Settings to Defaults) to return to the default setting.
