It's the metering mode. Different ones work better in different situations, you'll have to look it up and gain an understanding.

The manual has a great and easy to understand section on this. Have you read it?

Understanding metering will help you take better pictures, but its a learning process. I would highly recommend Brian Peterson's book Understanding Exposure as a good starting point and in the mean time leave your camera in the 'evaluative' mode which will generally give you a good exposure.
