Panny G9 questions: I.S. and exposure weight

Re: Panny G9 questions: I.S. and exposure weight

In regards to metering. The focal point is independent of the metering decisions the camera is making. If you set the auto focus for single point for example, and then used the joystick to move the focal point to a flower in the foreground of a landscape, the center weighted metering would still be center weighted, or full screen matrix if you had selected it. If you adjust the size of the focus area larger, or smaller, you are not changing the “size“ of the area that gets metered anywhere on the screen.

I hope this helps!

With some experimentation, I can confirm that this is not the case with “spot” focusing, or focus tracking.

I also went back and reviewed this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkpkI7jWUW8

I now have appropriate egg on my face. Lol. (Tested with my GH5)
