m
The camera's built-in light metering system calculates the brightness of the subject to determine the best exposure to use.
m Matrix
(default setting) Analyzes the distribution of brightness over a wide area of the frame, producing optimal results for most situations. Meters the entire frame but assigns the greatest weight to the
n Center-weighted center area. Measures light in an area shown by a square in the center of the monitor. The subject in the metering target area will be correctly exposed even when the background is much brighter or darker. Links spot metering to the active focus area when AF area mode is set to Auto or Manual (P. 86).
