Setting Exposure Metering in PASM Mode

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 PASM mode only.

1. In PASM 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 it or use Reset (see Resetting Manual Settings to Defaults) to return to the default setting.
