 EVALUATIVE METERING 
The camera measures the brightness of the scene by independently 
measuring each segment of the focusing screen and analyzing the 
correct exposure for the main subject under any lighting situation.   
Even under strong back lighting or complex lighting situations, the 
camera will give you the correct exposure. 
 
  CENTER WEIGHTED AVERAGE METERING 
The camera will measure the average brightness of the entire scene 
with additional emphasis on the center area. It will determine the most 
suitable exposure with respect to lighting conditions. 
 
  SPOT METERING 
The camera will measure the brightness only inside of the center 
focusing point on the color LCD monitor. This mode is suitable when 
you wish to set exposure for a portion of the scene and ignore the 
influence of rest of the scene.
