Shooting options

The metering mode refers to the way in which a camera measures the quantity 

of light. The brightness and lighting of your photos will vary depending on the 

metering mode you select.

In Shooting mode, press [m].

Select Metering.

Select an option.

Multi:

• Your camera divides the frame into several areas, and then 

measures the light intensity of each area.

• Suitable for general photos.
Spot:

• Your camera measures only the light intensity at the very center 

of the frame.

• If a subject is not in the center of the frame, your photo may be 

improperly exposed.

• Suitable for a subject with backlighting.
Center-weighted:

• Your camera averages the meter reading of the entire frame with 

emphasis placed on the center.

• Suitable for photos with subjects in the center of the frame.

   

   

   

When the light source is behind your subject or there is high contrast between your 

subject and the background, your subject is likely to appear dark in the photo. In 

this case, set the Auto Contrast Balance (ACB) option.
