Selecting the Metering Method
Select the method to meter the brightness of the subject. Three metering methods are
available: digital ESP metering, center weighted averaging metering, and spot metering.
The camera is set for digital ESP metering when you purchased the camera.
Digital ESP metering
Meters the entire picture and
reads not only the light but the
brightness patterns as well to
determine the correct exposure
value.
1
While holding down the metering
mode button
on the top, left
side of the camera, turn the main
dial or sub dial until you see the
desired metering setting displayed
in the viewfinder or monitor.
2
Take the picutre.
Brightness of center and surrounding area different?
When there is a great difference in the level of brightness between the center of the picture and the
surrounding area, or when there is an object in the background brightly lit, digital ESP metering may
not be able to meter the scene correctly. In such a situation, switch to center weighted averaging
metering or spot metering, cover the subject with the metering mark and adjust the exposure
compensation and other settings to determine the correct exposure. For a dark subject in strong
backlighting, you can also use the flash.
Center weighted
averaging
metering
Meters the entire picture, yet
concentrates on metering light
in the center of the picture in
area three times the size of
the Spot metering area mark
(approximately 11% of the
viewfinder) to determine the
correct exposure value.
Spot metering
Concentrates on metering the
light on the area covered by
the spot meter in the center of
the viewfinder (1.2% of the
viewfinder) to determine the
correct exposure value.
