Evaluative metering: This is the camera's standard metering mode ....
Partial metering: This is set automaically during AE-lock in creative zone
modes...
Centerweighted Average metering: This is set automatically in the <M>
mode...
This is also shown in the table on page 122, which gives an overview of the
functions available in basic and creative zone mode. In that table it also
says that one-shot AF is automatically chosen in portrait , landscape,
close-up, night and A-DEP mode. AI Servo is set in sport-mode. AI Focus
(which switches automatically between one-shot and AI Servo depending on
subject movement as detected by the camera) is set in full-auto(green),
no-flash, <P>, <Av>, <Tv> and <M>.
Actually, this is the same behaviour as my EOS 300. It was one of the main
reasons I bought the EOS 5.
