spot metering

The light meter can be switched to spot metering, covering 2.7 percent of the picture.

Another example of spot metering usage would be when photographing the moon.

Spot metering is a method upon which the Zone System depends.

Spot metering is very accurate and is not influenced by other areas in the frame.

Spot metering will allow for more detail to be brought out in the moon while underexposing the rest of the scene.

Spot metering only considers the actors in this case, while ignoring the overall darkness of the scene.

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

Spot Metering - For use when taking pictures when the subject is in front of a high-contrast environment.

It is the only 35mm rangefinder with a dual center-weighted average metering and spot metering system.

The translucent LCD can also display guide lines and the spot metering area circle.

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.

In addition to matrix metering, the F100 also offers standard center-weighted and spot metering modes.

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

Metering modes include a 16-zone evaluative, center-weighted average, partial, selectable spot, and fine central spot metering mode.

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

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 Multi-Meter finder that comes as standard equipment has a side-mounted dial that let me switch between multi-pattern, center-weighted and spot metering.

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

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

The spot metering cell also allows for automatic TTL "off-the-film" flash metering, again borrowed from Olympus.

The "S" here doesn't stand for built-in flash; instead, the upgraded 8008 offers a revised, reportedly faster auto-focusing system, spot metering and what Nikon calls focus tracking.

Like spot metering, some cameras can use variable points to take readings from, (in general autofocus points), or have a fixed point in the centre of the viewfinder.

Pentax was the first manufacturer to show a prototype camera with a behind-the-lens spot metering CdS meter system in 1961, the Pentax Spotmatic.
