spot metering

However, it has seven focus points (opposed to nine) and does not have spot light metering.

More to the point, you can turn it on and use it in automatic fashion without having to know anything about portrait modes, servo focusing or spot metering.

The camera is almost entirely automatic, but it does allow spot metering, 6 flash modes and infinity focus.

The camera had originally been designed to use spot metering, and this feature was included in prototype models exhibited at Photokina 1960.

With spot metering, the camera will only measure a very small area of the scene (between 1-5% of the viewfinder area).

More commonly, spot metering is used in theatre photography, where the brightly lit actors stand before a dark or even black curtain or scrim.

Essentially added a PC flash-sync terminal, ME capability, spot metering and faster shutter to the 7000i feature-set.

Manual focus lenses will work if they are AI or AI converted, albeit with only center weighted and spot metering available.

On the T90, partial area metering uses the center 13% of the picture area, while spot metering uses the center 2.7%.

In this mode, the pre-flash is used in conjunction with spot metering to determine the correct exposure in advance of taking the picture.
