Metering System

This camera offers two metering methods: center weighted metering and spot metering. Use these two methods depending on your

subject and shooting conditions.

<Center-weighted Metering (Main Switch at ON)>

This method measures the light with great emphasis on . the brightness of the subject in the central part of the picture frame and

also takes the brightness of the surrounding area into account. It insures uniform exposure in the entire frame and reacts well to

both bright and dark light, making it suitable for taking ordinary pictures.

Automatic Backlight Compensation

Even if your main subject in the center of the viewfinder is backlighted, you can take beautifully exposed pictures of it because the

exposure is automatically compensated. If the surrounding area is brighter than the center of the picture frame in backlighted

situations, the camera will automatically measure only the central part so that the main subject is not underexposed.

Spot Metering (Main Switch at AE - L)>

This method measures only the central part of the picture frame to determine the exposure. If the subject is very bright against the

background, such as a spotlighted subject on the stage, or on the contrary, if the background is too bright compared to the subject,

such as a backlighted portrait, you can take sharp pictures using this method. It is also useful for producing a dramatic effect in

your picture by setting exposure on a particular part of the subject.
