Spot-On

TC-1

One of the TC-1 functions that attracts me very much is its spot metering. The above picture is taken simply with the centre-weighted metering together with AF in the centre (the rock) while half-pressing the shutter release button.

To test the spot metering, I point the spot meter circle to the wall behind the rock and press the spot button. Then compose the picture like the previous one with the same AF in the centre. The difference is quite obvious.

We can further use the spot metering and AF lock to meet our special need in dealing with some difficult lighting situations or meeting our requirements of creative works. Very nice to see the function on such an ultra-compact film camera.
