Highlight-based exposure, o n the contrary, gives the highest priority t o the highlight area. This exposure allows the shadow area t o come out somewhat darker. Advanced photographers oriented for creative photography ba se their exposure s el ec tio n o n these considerations. Measuring t he values o n several important spots of t h e image wit h[...]

CENTER-WEIGHTED AVERAGE LIGHT METERING The OM-3Ti uses center-weighted average light metering f o r its basic light m etering system. Thi s system emphasizes measurement of brightness in t h e center of th e screen, rather than averaging measurement of t he brightness of the e n tire screen. Thus, the mai n subject in th e center i s unlikely t o b[...]

OTF AUTO LIGHT METERING The OM-3Ti ha s manually s e l ec t a bl e shutter speeds. But combined wi t h a T-series flash, the camera also provides fu ll control of flash lighting v ia OTF a uto light metering. T h i s system automatically controls flash int ensity while directly m etering the fla sh lighting being exposed on film. F or t his reason,[...]

SPOT METERING ( 1 ) Thi s sp ot metering system measures t he brightness of the central s po t of the pi ct ur e frame ( 2 % o f th e entire frame). Th e center-weighted average l i g h t metering provides correct exposure for subjects i n follow light and in pictures having a nearly uniform brightness thr oughout the entire frame. Ex pos ure compe[...]

SPOT METERING (2) To ensure correct operation o f the spot metering: I n spot metering, it is necessary to put the are a t o b e metered in the microprism section. If there is a brighter spot i n the microprism section, th an th e intended subject, the metering value will b e affected. If a l en s is changed, th e light receiving angle f o r spot m[...]
