 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.
