Appropriate for standard shooting conditions, 

including backlit scenes. The camera divides 

images into several zones for metering. It

the position of the subject, the brightness, the 

direct light, and the backlighting, and adjusts 

the settings to the correct exposure for the 

main subject.

Avg.

Averages the light metered from the entire 

frame, but gives greater weight to the subject 

matter at the center.
