The metering mode refers to the way in which a camera measures the 
quantity of light.
The camera measures the amount of light in a scene, and in many of its 
modes, uses the measurement to adjust various settings. For example, 
if a subject looks darker than its actual color, the camera captures an 
overexposed photo of it. If a subject looks lighter than its actual color, the 
camera captures an underexposed photo of it.

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 its background or where the area around a subject is large 
compared to the overall composition of the photo.

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 
±5 increments. The camera displays the exposure warning in red for each 
step beyond ±5 range. When recording a video, the exposure value is
