metering mode. Partial metering is set automatically \when AE lock Is used

(see page 51), and centenweighted averaging metering is set automatically

in the <M> mode (see page 48).

Evaluative metering

This is suited for most picture-taking

situations including backlit conditions.

The subject's position and brightness,

the background, the existing light,

backlight conditions, and the active

focusing points are taken into account

to obtain a suitable exposure.

Partial metering

The exposure setting is based on the

brightness of an area 9.5% of the

viewfinder screen at the center. It is

effective for backlit subjects.

• The partial metering area (shaded) is

approximated by the diagram on the

left.

Centerweighted averaging

metering

The metering is weighted at the center

and then averaged for the entire

scene.

* •

ln the One-Shot AF and Al Focus AF modes (except Al Servo AF) (see page

64), AE lock takes effect automatically when you press the shutter button

halfway to focus.

• You cannot set or change the metering mode manually.
