26. EXPOSURE METERING USER SETTING MODE
This camera has 2 types of exposure metering systems: center-weighted
average metering and spot metering. Choose the appropriate metering system
according to the situation or subject you are shooting.
Center-weighted average metering This system measures the viewing area,
emphasizing the center portion. This metering system is ideal for general
shooting and landscape shooting. (Fig. 60)4www.butkus.org
Spot metering This system only measures the central spot (inside the
microprism area). This metering system is effective when there is a wide
contrast between the subject and the background, or when you wish to
emphasize a section of the subject (i.e., portrait shooting in backlit
conditions, subjects on a stage, etc.). (Fig. 61)
1. Turn the mode dial to select (Exposure Metering User Setting mode).
(Fig. 62)
2. Press the up/down buttons to select either [ ] (spot l metering) or [*]
(center-weighted average metering). (Fig. 63)
3. To change the current exposure metering setting, repeat steps 1 and 2
again.

depth of field for the selected aperture. The AE Lock mode locks the
exposure value for precise exposure metering.
