In Menu>Camera, I have 3 options for Exposure Metering Mode, i.e. Advanced, Classic, Classic with LV disabled.
In Set>Metering Mode, I have another 3 options, i.e. Spot Metering, Center-weighted Metering, Multi-field Metering.
Because of shutter lag, I hate to use Advanced metering mode. So I chose Classic in Menu>Camera. Now, I am uncertain which mode I should pick in Set>Metering Mode. Suppose I pick Multi-field Metering for Set>Metering Mode, then will I be able to meter in Classic Metering mode leveraging the Multi-field metering algorithm, instead of Classic & Center-weighted? Or is Multi-field only allowed to be functioned as a sub-set of Advanced Metering mode only when set so in Menu>Camera?
In addition, if I hit the LV button for live view shooting while my M 240 is set for Classic & Multi-field metering, does my camera change the metering mode automatically to Advanced & Multi-field as long as I remain in LV mode? And I don't have to re-set back to my preferred metering mode immediately after I finish the LV mode shooting, am I correct?
Lastly, what is your preferred mode between Center-weighted and Multi-filed?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
