then press <0>.

q Evaluative metering

General-purpose metering mode suited even

for backlit subjects. The camera sets the

exposure automatically to suit the scene.

w Partial metering

Effective where there are much brighter lights

around the subject due to backlight, etc. The

gray area in the left figure is where the

brightness is metered to obtain the standard

exposure.

e Center-weighted average metering

The brightness is metered at the image center

and then averaged for the entire scene. This

metering mode is for advanced users.

q Changing the Metering ModeN

With q (Evaluative metering), the exposure setting will be locked when you

press the shutter button halfway and focus is achieved. In the w (Partial

metering) and e (Center-weighted average metering) modes, the

exposure is set at the moment the picture is taken. (Pressing the shutter

button halfway does not lock the exposure.)
