> W810i Spot Photometry Pics?

auto-focus i think refers to sharpness... then lighting condition is another part. ability to adjust lighting to produce good overall blend is i think goes with K750i also. ive noticed these with some firmware... and of course the now-popular FAR manager... using alterated cam drivers... we can achieve these special cam abilities.

oh wait it does.. center-weighted, right? got a bit mixed up there

About that auto exposure setting, even my k700 can do that.

w800/K750 got centre weighted metering from about R1N035 firmware onwards. Before that it was average metering. Centre-weighted metering gives priority to the centre of the frame, but still averages out the whole frame. Both methods are a form of average metering.
Spot metering reads only a small point, not an average of a large area. Spot metering can be centre only, or on decent cameras the "spot can be moved off-centre or there can be multi-spot metering.
I believe W810 is centre-weighted metering not spot metering, but I may be wrong about that. Don't quote me

@max
I'll be quoting you then
Spot metering indeed only read a small point of an area. There are also other techniques like multi-spot metering for advanced camera modules. I tried to snap some close up pics directly at a flash light. Without spot photometry, it should overexpose the photo. But it isn't the case here. I got a good quality light exposure.
@Max_Q
Instead criticizing people, why don't you just contribute something more useful. btw, we don't call the camera sensor as "matrix"...For most of us, it's a damn movie!
@rockgali and axilom
Do you mind posting some pics using your camphones(like the ones above)? I'm sure the results will be interesting
@born_dead
I guess he's part of the 10%

Thanks axilom. But I'm afraid those are not for spot photometry

you need to work with light as subjects i think
Can you try taking a direct shot at a flashlight? like this..
A pic like that from a normal camphone without spot photometry feature would have been blurred. Unless I'm very much mistaken, as Masseur's sig says

That may be due to centre-weighted averaging, which is a compromise between full frame average metering and centre spot metering so may explain the result?

ok i took em out instead of further shaming myself
i'll try to get a pic of a lighted candle later tonight

@max_wedge
That maybe the case based on the pics I've taken.
btw, Is the camera module of w810i the same as k750 and w800 camera modules? I wonder if k750/w800 pics will render different results.
@axilom
Lighted candle in a dark room will be perfect
