METERING
7170
Your camera takes meter readings of the light in the scene to
determine the correct exposure. The 800si has three methods of
taking meter readings. Use the method most appropriate for your
subject.
14-SEGMENT HONEYCOMB-PATTERN METERING
Fourteen-Segment Honeycomb-Pattern Metering is the camera's
standard metering mode and will be set whenever the program-
reset button is pressed (p 120). This mode uses information from
the autofocus system to set the metering pattern according to the
position of the main subject in the frame. The camera evaluates
each of the honeycomb segments separately to determine the
degree of spot-lighting or backlighting present in your scene.
