Metering modes
Metering modes changes the metering pattern. If the luminance
levels of the scene are outside the metering range, the metering
indicator turns red.
Metering mode is selected with the function button and the
controller (p. 64).
Spot - uses a small area within the image to calculate the
exposure. When this mode is selected, a small circle will appear
in the middle of the live image indicating the measuring area. The
spot allows precise exposure measurements of a particular object
without being influenced by extremely bright or dark areas within
the scene. When using spot metering with the Flex Focus Point (p.
48), the spot circle can move with the focus point. This function is
selected in section 1 of the recording menu (p. 90).
Multi-segment - uses 256 segments to measure luminance and color. This data is
combined with distance information to calculate the camera exposure. This advanced
metering system will give accurate worry-free exposures in almost all situations.
Center weighted - a traditional metering method in film cameras. The system measures
light values over the entire image area with emphasis given the center region.
Spot metering display
When the metering mode is set, an indicator appears on the monitors.
