CC Evaluative metering

This is suited for most picture-taking conditions including

backlit subjects. The viewfinder coverage is divided into

35 metering zones and evaluative metering is linked to

the seven focusing points. The camera senses the

subject's position and brightness, the background, the

existing light, backlighting, and other lighting conditions

to set a suitable exposure for the subject.

• During manual focusing, evaluative metering is linked

only to the center focusing point.

03 Partial metering

This is effective for backlit subjects. An area

covering about 10% of the viewfinder screen at the

center is used for metering.

Oil Centerweighted averaging metering

The metering is weighted at the center and then

averaged for the entire scene.

BCT Partial metering and FE lock can be linked to the active focusing point. (See

page 89 for C.Fn-8-1.)
