Specifying the Metering Mode (Metering)
 MultiMulti-pattern metering divides the image into sections and measures 
the light in each section for a balanced exposure reading. This type 
of metering provides error-free exposure settings for a wide range of 
shooting conditions.
 Center 
WeightedCenter weighted metering concentrates on the center of the focus 
area to measure light. This type of metering is best when you want 
some level of control over contrast.
 SpotSpot metering takes readings at a very small area. Use this metering 
method when you want exposure to be set according to the 
brightness of a particular subject, without being affected by 
surrounding conditions.
