Multi-Spot Metering
Multiple spot meter readings can be taken and then averaged automatically. As shown in the sample below, you can take multiple spot meter readings
 |
Set the Spot Metering Mode
Aim the focusing point over the shadow area and press the <FEL> button
- This obtains the first spot meter reading
Aim the focusing point over a midtone and press the <FEL> button once. Then do the same for a highlight area
- Each time a spot meter reading is taken, the spot meter readings taken so far are averaged and the result (shutter speed and aperture) is displayed below the viewfinder
.
On the exposure compensation scale on the right of the viewfinder, the exposure level indicator moves around in real-time to indicate the spot meter reading's current exposure level. The three spot meter reading are also indicated on the scale with a fixed (non-moving) metering mark.

The exposure setting obtained with multi-spot meter readings are canceled in the following cases:
- After taking the last spot meter reading, 16 seconds elapsed
- You press the
, <MODE> or <AF> button
- After taking the picture, you take your finger off the shutter button
Up to 8 spot meter readings can be taken for one picture. If you press the <FEL> button to try and take a ninth spot meter reading, no spot meter reading will register.
