EXPOSURE METERING AND EXPOSURE CONTROL
EXPOSURE METERING METHODS
Your LeicaCL off ers three exposure metering methods to adapt to
prevalent lighting and other conditions like your working methods
or artistic ideas:
▸ Select
Exposure Metering in the Main Menu (1st screen page)
▸ Select the desired setting
Multi-fi eld metering –
In this metering method, the camera automatically analyzes 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 relevantly best exposure
setting.
This method is particularly suitable for spontaneous, uncompli-
cated but reliable photography in diffi cult conditions and therefore
a good choice in combination with the automatic mode.
Center-weighted metering –
This metering method allocates the highest weighting to the center
of the image fi eld, but also captures all other areas.
When used in conjunction with metering memory lock, this method
allows the exposure to be selectively adjusted to specifi c sections
of the subject, while simultaneously taking into account the entire
image fi eld.
Spot metering –
This metering method is concentrated exclusively on a small area
in the center of the image. It allows exact measurement of tiny
details for precise exposure – preferably in conjunction with
manual settings.
For backlit pictures, for example, an underexposure of the main
subject due to brighter surroundings must be prevented. The much
smaller metering fi eld in spot metering ensures a targeted evalua-
tion of these subject details.
