Metering

Center-weighted

The Center-weighted mode calculates a broader area than the Spot mode 
does. It sums up the amount of light in the center portion of the shot 
(60–80 %) and that of the rest of the shot (20–40 %). It is recommended 
for situations where there is a slight difference in brightness between a 
subject and a background or an area of the subject is large compared to 
the overall composition of the photo.

Spot

The Spot mode calculates the amount of light in the center. When you 
capture a photo in conditions where there is a strong backlight behind a 
subject, the camera adjusts the exposure so as to shoot a subject correctly. 
For example, when you select the Multi mode in a strong backlight 
condition, the camera calculates that the overall amount of light is 
abundant, which results in a darker photo. The Spot mode can prevent this 
situation as it calculates the amount of light in a designated area.

The subject is in bright color while the background is dark. The Spot mode 
is recommended for a situation like this where a huge difference in the 
exposure exists between a subject and a background.
