EXPOSURE METERING SYSTEMS

The Nikon N6000 provides two types of exposure metering systems - Matrix Meter- ing and Center-Weighted Metering.

MATRIX METERING

This system is ideally suited for quick operation and for the most dependable auto exposure control. It can also be used for manual metering and flash exposure control operation with any Nikon TIL Speedlight.

In Matrix Metering, the meter automatically provides the correct exposure of the main subject in virtually any lighting situation, without requiring manual exposure compensation. The Matrix Metering sensor determines scene brightness by dividing the scene into five areas, then analyzing each area for brightness and scene contrast.

CENTER-WEIGHTED METERING

Choose Center-Weighted Metering when you want to base exposure on either auto or manual exposure control for a cen- trally located subject. Selecting Center-W~ightedMetering overrides Matrix Metering and concentrates 75% of the meter's sensitivity into the center of the viewfinder outlined by a 12mm circle.
