Center-Weighted Metering is a camera exposure mode that prioritizes the light in the center of the frame while still considering the surrounding areas. This method is useful for scenes where the subject is in the middle, allowing for more accurate exposure of the main subject without being overly influenced by bright or dark areas around it. This metering technique is particularly beneficial in portrait photography, where the subject is often centered. By focusing on the central portion of the image, Center-Weighted Metering helps ensure that the subject is well-exposed, even if the background varies in brightness.
