qSelecting a Metering Mode
Select the metering mode.
Hold down the <Q> button and turn the <6> dial to select the desired metering mode. Then let go of the button.

q Evaluative Metering

This is the cameras standard metering mode suited for most subjects even under backlit conditions. After detecting the subjects position in the viewnder; the brightness, background, front and back lighting conditions; and camera orientation (horizontal or vertical), the camera sets the proper exposure.

w Partial Metering

Effective when the background is much brighter than the subject due to backlighting, etc. The metering is weighted at the center covering about 13.5% of the viewnder area.

r Spot Metering

This is for metering a specic part of the subject or scene. The metering is weighted at the center covering about 3.8% of the viewnder area.
e Centerweighted Averaged

Metering

The metering is weighted at the center and then averaged for the entire scene.
AF Point-Linked Spot Metering
To make AF point selection faster, the selectable AF points can be limited to 11 (C.Fn-13-1) or 9 (C.Fn-13-3). The AF point manually selected among the 11 or 9 will be linked to spot metering (3.8% of viewnder). (p.69, 151)
If you use ash, you can set ash exposure compensation by holding down the <Q> button and turning the <5> dial.

Multi-Spot Metering

With multiple spot meter readings, you can see the relative exposure levels of multiple areas in the picture and set the exposure to obtain the desired result.
