LIGHT METERING MODE
The Light Metering Mode can be changed on the Control
Screen or by pressing the EXP button on the Viewnder. Use
the Rear Scroll Wheel to select Mode.
Available Light Metering Modes
There are three reective metering modes available.
Centre Weighted, Centre Spot and Spot metering.
Spot Mode
In Camera Settings / Exposure Mode you can select the
Spot Mode to be
- Normal Mode.
- Zone Mode. (See page 79)
Centre Weighted
Used for light situations where there is no
particular dominance of light or dark areas
across the tonal range. Takes into account
approximately 25% of the image seen in the
viewnder.
Centre Spot
Emphasizes the central section of the focusing screen
equivalent to approximately 25% of the image. This
provides a balanced assessment and is a typical
choice where the main subject is in the centre.
Spot
The sensitive area is equivalent to approximately
2.5% of the image area (the central spot on the
viewnder screen). Any parts of the image outside of
this area will not affect the exposure reading. This
provides a very accurate measurement of specic
tones. Typically used in the zone system and similar
light measuring situations where maximum control
is required. Also excellent for tonal comparison
measurements. The spot mode can display zones
instead of EV's in the viewnder display.
