5.0
Owner's of the Leica Digital Camera 18450 gave it a score of 5.0 out of 5. Here's how the scores stacked up:
EXPOSURE METERING AND CONTROL
EXPOSURE METERING MODES
The Leica X2 oers you a choice of three exposure metering modes. They
allow adjustment to the prevailing light conditions, the situation and your style
of work and your creative ideas.
In the menu, select
Metering Mode
(3.4), and in the submenu the desired
setting.
MULTI-FIELD METERING –
With this metering method, the camera automatically analyses the brightness
differences in the subject and, by comparing them with programmed bright-
ness distribution patterns, arrives at the likely position of the main subject and
the corresponding best exposure.
By consequence, this method is particularly suitable for spontaneous, uncom-
plicated but reliable photography even under difficult conditions and therefore
for use together with programmed automatic exposure (see p. 128).
CENTER-WEIGHTED METERING –
This metering method allocates the highest weighting to the center of the
image field, but also records all other areas.
In conjunction with metering memory-lock in particular (see p. 130) it allows
selective adjustment of the exposure to particular sections of the subject with
simultaneous consideration of the entire image field.
SPOT METERING –
.
This mode concentrates exclusively on a tiny area in the center of the image
indicated in the monitor by a green spot (2.1.10).
It allows exact measurement of even minute details for precise exposure –
preferably in conjunction with manual setting (see p. 130).
For example, in backlit pictures it is normally necessary to prevent the brighter
background causing underexposure of the main subject. With its tiny metering
area, spot metering allows you to selectively evaluate this kind of details.
