Center-weighted
The Center-weighted mode calculates a broader area than the  
Spot mode does. It sums up the amount of light in the center portion 
of the shot (60 ~ 80 %) and that of the rest of the shot (20 ~ 40 %). 
It is recommended for situations where there is a slight difference in 
brightness between a subject and a background or an area of the 
subject is large compared to the overall composition of the photo.
Spot
The Spot mode calculates the amount of light in the center. When you 
capture a photo in conditions where there is a strong backlight behind 
a subject, the camera adjusts the exposure so as to shoot a subject 
correctly. For example, when you select the Multi mode in a strong 
backlight condition, the camera calculates that the overall amount of 
light is abundant, which results in a darker photo. The Spot mode can 
prevent this situation as it calculates the amount of light in a designate\
d 
area.
The subject is in bright color while the background is dark. The Spot 
mode is recommended for a situation like this where a huge difference in 
the exposure exists between a subject and a background.

Digital imaging devices such as digital cameras, monitors, and printers \
have their own methods for representing colors, which are called color 
spaces.
Your camera lets you select two color spaces: sRGB or Adobe RGB. 
sRGB is widely used for creating colors on PC monitors and is also the 
standard color space for Exif. sRGB is recommended for regular images 
and images you intend to publish on the Internet.
Adobe RGB is used for commercial printing and has a larger color range 
than sRGB. Its wider range of colors helps you to easily edit photos on \
a 
computer. Note that individual programs are generally compatible with a 
limited number of color spaces. If you open an image in a program that 
is not compatible with the image’s color space, the colors will appear 
lighter.
To set the color 
space, In Shooting mode, press [m] → L → Color Space 
→ an option.

Exposure compensation
The camera automatically sets the exposure by measuring the levels 
of light from the photo’s composition and the position of a subject. If 
the exposure set by the camera is higher or lower than you expected, 
you can adjust the exposure value manually. The exposure value is 
adjustable in ±3 increments. The camera displays the exposure warning 
in red for each step beyond ±3 range.
To adjust the exposure value, press [I], and then rotate the 
navigation button. You can also adjust the exposure value by pressing 
[f], and then selecting EVC (Exposure Value Compensation).
You can check the exposure value by the position of the exposure level 
indicator.
