Hi guys,

I tried looking through the manual and am not having any luck finding info on where to adjust the metering mode from matrix, spot, or center weighted. For some reason, I feel like I saw center-weighte selected in a recent flight, but back on the ground, I can't find where this setting exists.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks a bunch!

It uses centre-weighted by default.
If you tap the point on the screen on the point you want to focus on, you'll see the green focus area square move to that point.

Got it. Yeah I know it will autofocus wherever you tap on the screen, but was wondering if there is the option to change to spot metering or matrix metering with the camera set to full manual mode.

Tap the small green square in the upper right of the screen and it changes to a yellow spot metering icon.
You can then touch the screen where you want to expose for.

There is the option to map center weighted metering to the C1/C2 button. However, i can’t see anything happening to the feed/focus(maybe I’m just blind)

I'm having the same issue with mine. My app also doesn't have the selection button on the top right for focus/metering. Maybe it's the app version that is preventing this.

So I realize that the feature gets available once you select either of the auto camera modes,
Does not really make sense to me.

this seems to be available only in photo mode, is there a way to choose what to expose for in video mode as well? that toggle button for focus/exposure is no where to be found when I switch to video?
