ooting

The process of measuring the brightness of the subject to determine exposure is 
known as metering.

Choose how the camera meters exposure.

A (auto) M d (Shooting menu) M Metering

G

Matrix (default setting)

Uses a wide area of the screen for metering. This metering mode provides the 
appropriate exposure for a variety of shooting conditions. Recommended for typical 
shooting.

q

Center-weighted

The camera meters the entire frame but assigns greatest weight to the subject in 
the center of the frame. Classic meter for portraits; preserves background details 
while letting lighting conditions at the center of the frame determine exposure. Can 
be used with focus lock (

A 55) to meter off-center subjects.

B

While digital zoom is in effect, metering is set to center-weighted metering or spot metering (the 
area in the center of the monitor is metered). The active metering area is not displayed.

C

This setting can be set by pressing the 

d button even when using continuous shooting mode 

(

A 80). A (auto) mode and continuous shooting mode share the same Metering setting.

C

The active metering area is displayed in the monitor when Center-weighted is selected for 
Metering.
