the appropriate position. In Group Dynamic AF Mode (

within the group is activated. However, Spot Metering area stays at the center (does
not shift) as long as Dynamic AF Mode with Closest Subject Priority (

“: Center-Weighted Metering

• Center-Weighted Metering places special emphasis

on brightness within the 12mm-diameter circle in
the viewfinder, so it is useful for basing exposure on
a specific area of the scene.

ˇ: Spot Metering

• Nearly 100% of the meter’s sensitivity is

concentrated on the 4mm-dia. area (approx. 1.5%
of entire frame) within the selected focus area of
the viewfinder. Use Spot Metering to base the
exposure on a very small area within the frame, such
as with backlit subjects or high-contrast scenes.

CSM b4: The area of the Center-Weighted meter’s sensitivity can be changed
to 8mm-dia., 12mm-dia., 15mm-dia., 20mm-dia. circle or average of the entire
viewfinder (

x

98).
