Metering Modes

The metering of the camera works by evaluating the amount of brightness in the scene. For every scene there's also a specific metering mode to be used. The metering modes include: 

1. Matrix Metering - is the default setting mode of the camera and used for all around shooting. The camera meters the wide area of the frame.

2. Center-Weighted Metering - the camera meters the whole frame but assigns the greatest weight to the center area. Recommended for portraits.

3. Spot Metering - the camera meters approximately less than 3% of the frame. Recommended when the background is much brighter or much darker from the subject.
