: Center-weighted average metering
| Type | Description | ||
| Evaluative metering |  | 　This is a general-purpose metering mode suited even for backlit subjects. The camera sets the exposure automatically to suit the scene. |
| Partial metering |  | Effective when the background is much brighter than the subject due to backlighting, etc. Partial metering covers approx. 6.1% of the viewfinder area at the center. |
| Spot metering |  | Effective when metering a specific part of the subject or scene. Spot metering covers approx. 1.3% of the viewfinder area at the center. The spot metering circle will be displayed in the viewfinder. |
| Center-weighted average metering |  | The metering is weighted at the center and then averaged for the entire scene. |
NOTE
With < > (Evaluative metering), the exposure setting will be locked when you press the shutter button halfway and focus is achieved (in One-Shot AF mode). In the < > (Partial metering), < > (Spot metering), and < > (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.)
