Centre-weighted metering

One of the original forms of camera meter, that takes a reading from most of the image area, but biases the measurement towards the lower central segment of the image. In landscape photography it’s a good idea to point the camera down somewhat and take a reading without any sky in the sight to ensure more precise results
