EXPOSURE METERING AND CONTROL

Exposure metering methods

To adjust to the prevailing lighting conditions, the situation, or your
working methods and compositional ideas, the Leica T provides
you with three exposure metering modes.
► Select the required setting in
Multiple fi eld metering -
With this metering method, the camera automatically analyses the
brightness diff erences in the subject and, by comparing them with
programmed brightness distribution patterns, arrives at the likely
position of the main subject and the corresponding best exposure.
As a result, this method is particularly suitable for spontaneous,
uncomplicated and yet reliable photography under diffi cult
conditions, and therefore for use in conjunction with an automatic
program.

Center-weighted metering -

This metering method allocates the highest weighting to the center
of the image fi eld, but also records all other areas.
Particularly when used in conjunction with metering memory lock,
it allows targeted adjustment of the exposure to particular parts of
the subject while simultaneously taking account of the entire
image fi eld.
Spot metering -
This metering method concentrates exclusively on a tiny area in the
center of the picture, which is indicated by a green dot in the
monitor.
It allows exact measurement of small or tiny details for precise
exposure – preferably in conjunction with manual setting.
For example, in backlit shots you normally have to prevent the
lighter surroundings leading to underexposure of the main subject.
With the much smaller metering fi eld used for spot metering, you
can concentrate selectively on these subject details.
