Choosing a Metering System

You can control the way light affects your pictures using the metering systems available on your camera. If you want a nice even exposure throughout the picture, use the Multi-Pattern setting. This setting is great for everyday pictures. If you want to emphasize the center of your picture, such as a person's face, while at the same time de-emphasizing the background, use the Center-Weighted setting.
