Partial
Metering
In
some situations there
is
a sharp contrast between the main subject
and the background, such as a shot of a spot-lit stage. Depending on the
composition, there
is
a danger of the shot being over- or underexposed.
To ensure good results
in
this type of situation, switch to the partial
metering setting.
1. Set the
command
dial to the cre-
ative zone.
2. Place the partial metering area mark
over the subject requiring light com-
pensation. Press the shutter button
halfway and then remove your finger
from the shutter button.

held down halfway.
