This is a brief example of how different metering will affect a scene.

In the first example I used the standard matrix metering option. In this case the camera tries to evaluate the entire scene and strike an exposure balance as best it can.

In the second example I did a spot meter on the tree on the left. I then used the exposure lock button located near my right thumb, re-composed the scene and shot.

In the third example I did a spot meter on the couple on the bench. Again I utilized the exposure lock, re-composed and shot.
