Editing Metering mode (section)

===Partial (selective) metering===
This mode meters a larger area than spot metering (around 10&ndash;15% of the entire frame), and is generally used when very bright or very dark areas on the edges of the frame would otherwise unduly influence the metering. As in spot metering, some cameras can use variable points for readings or use a fixed point in the centre of the viewfinder.
