Selecting the Metering Method

L Multi-

segment

The sensor meters the brightness in multiple different zones. 

(default setting) 

Even in backlit locations, this mode automatically determines 

what level of brightness is in which portion and automatically 

adjusts exposure.

M Center-

weighted

Metering is weighted at the center of the sensor.

The sensitivity increases at the center and no automatic 

adjustment is performed even during backlit scenes.

N

Spot

The brightness is measured only within a limited area 

at the center of the sensor.

You can use this in combination with the AE Lock function (p.80) 

when the subject is extremely small and a correct exposure 

is difficult to obtain.

• You can also change the setting from the [A Rec. Mode 1] menu.
• In [2. Link AE to AF Point] of the [A Custom Setting 1] menu, you can link the 

exposure and AF point in the focusing area during multi-segment metering.

Off

Exposure for multi-segment metering is determined regardless 

of the AF point. (default setting)

On

Exposure for multi-segment metering is adjusted according 

to the AF point.
