Metering Modes

The EOS D30 uses three methods for metering: evaluative, partial, and center-weighted

averaging.

The Easy Shooting zone uses evaluative metering. In the Creative zone, any of the three modes

can be selected.

: Evaluative Metering

This is an all-around metering mode suited even for

backlit subjects. The viewfinder field is divided into

35 metering zones to which the three focusing

points are linked for evaluative metering. The

camera determines the main subject’s size,

position, brightness, background, front and back

lighting, etc., so that it can select the proper

exposure for the subject at all times.

● When using manual focusing, evaluative

metering is based on the center focusing point.

: Partial Metering

This is particularly effective when the background is

much brighter than the subject due to backlighting,

etc. This method uses a center area of

approximately 9.5% of the screen.

● The area covered by partial metering is shown

on the left.

: Center-weighted Averaging Metering

This method meters the average exposure of the

entire viewfinder screen, and gives extra weight to

the center.
