8	Light Metering
	& Exposure Control

■ Three metering methods ■ Five exposure methods

■ Extremely accurate light metering

The light metering system is capable of selective sensitiv- ity producing three reflective metering methods: Average, Centre weighted and Spot. All methods are measured in in- crements of 1/12 EV. Information transfer is rapid and auto- matic ensuring consistently correct exposure settings even in diﬃcult and changeable lighting situations.

Light measurement is made through the lens (TTL) by the AE viewﬁnder and exposure is controlled manually or automat- ically by the control wheels and/or settings. The information is visible on both the grip LCD and the viewﬁnder LCD.

A great deal of control is available ranging from 100% manual through to sophisticated fully automatic by way of the various exposure methods: Manual, Aperture priority, Shutter priority, Program and Program variable.
