METERING MODES

Metering mode indicators are displayed on the

monitors only. To lock the exposure while

pressing the shutter-release button partway

down, the AE lock option in section 4 of the

recording mode menu should be on. If the

luminance levels of the scene are outside the

metering range, the metering indicator turns red.

Turn the function dial to the metering mode

position (1). Press the function button in the

center of the dial (2). Turn the front or rear control

dials to select the metering mode (3). Press the

shutter-release button partway down or press the

function button to set the mode.

Spot - uses a small area within the image to calculate the

exposure. When this mode is selected, a small circle will

appear in the middle of the live image indicating the

measuring area. The spot allows precise exposure

measurements of a particular object without being

influenced by extremely bright or dark areas within the

scene. When using spot metering with the Flex Focus

Point (p. 48), the spot circle can move with the focus

point. This function is selected in section 4 of the

recording menu (p. 107).

Multi-segment - uses 300 segments to measure luminance and color. This data

is combined with distance information to calculate the camera exposure. This

advanced metering system will give accurate worry-free exposures in almost all

situations.

Center weighted - a traditional metering method in film cameras. The system

measures light values over the entire image area with emphasis given the

central region.
