In macro mode, the center-weighted-average-like metering is applied to obtain optimum exposure for close-up photography.
(Only multi-segment or spot metering is user-selectable, though.)
Equipped with the same CCD and ASIC as DiMAGE 5, the center-weighted-average metering is logically possible. Although it is not published, the image data is processed in the center-weighted average metering effectively for some of the digital-subject-programs.
