metering () and fine spot metering (). Center-weighted average
metering as well as spot metering linked to the focusing points can also
be set with the corresponding custom function. In all metering modes,

and determines the exposure.

nite number of lighting conditions and subject types. Select the metering
mode best suited for each subject.
