Choose how the camera sets exposure.

L Matrix metering

Produces natural results in most situations. The 
camera meters a wide area of the frame and sets 
exposure according to tone distribution, color, 
composition, and distance.

M

Classic meter for portraits. Camera meters entire 
frame but assigns greatest weight to center area. 
Recommended when using filters with an 
exposure factor (filter factor) over 1×.

N Spot metering

Choose this mode to ensure that subject will be 
correctly exposed, even when background is 
much brighter or darker. Camera meters current 
focus point; use to meter off-center subjects.
