 Exposure  Metering
You can change the metering method (the range to use for metering) used to 
determine the exposure value.

—

Multi
The entire shooting range is divided into 256 partitions, and each is metered 
to determine the overall exposure value.
Center
The entire image is metered, with emphasis on the center, to determine 
the exposure value. Use this when the brightness of the center and 
surroundings are different.
Spot
Only the center of the image is metered to determine the exposure value. 
Use this setting when you want to use the brightness at the center. This is 
useful if there is a marked difference in contrast or backlighting.
