 (Multi)
Divides into multiple regions and measures each region. The 
camera determines a well-balanced exposure (Multi-pattern 
metering).
 (Center)
Measures the center of the image, and determines the exposure 
based on the brightness of the subject there (Center-weighted 
metering).
 (Spot)
Measures only a part of the subject 
(Spot metering). This function is useful 
when the subject is backlit or when 
there is strong contrast between the 
subject and the background.
