(1)Evaluative metering (linkable to any focusing point)

(2)Partial metering (approx. 8.5% of viewfinder at center)

(3)Center spot metering (approx. 2.4% of viewfinder at center)

(4)Spot metering (linked to focusing point at approx. 2.4% of viewfinder)

*During continuous shooting with metering modes (3) and (4), the first shot is metered in real time and the meter

reading is locked (AE lock) for subsequent shots in the same burst.

(5)Multi-spot metering (Max. 8 multi-spot metering entries)

(6)Centerweighted averaging metering

1Program AE (shiftable), 2 Shutter speed-priority AE (in 1/3 stops, safety shift enabled with Custom Function), 3 Aperture-priority AE (in 1/3 stops, safety shift enabled with Custom Function), 4 Depth-of-field AE, 5 E-TTL program flash AE (high-speed sync, FE lock, and wireless control enabled with 550EX), 6 A-TTL program flash AE, 7 TTL program flash AE, 8 Manual, 9 Bulb

EV 0-20 (at 20˚C with 50mm f/1.4 lens, ISO 100)

ISO 6-6400 (Set automatically with DX-coded film at ISO 25- 5000.)

(1)Autoexposure bracketing (AEB): ±3 stops in 1/3-stop increments. standard exposure, underexposure, and overexposure sequence. Repeated bracketing enabled according to current film advance mode. With self-timer, all three bracketed shots are taken in the continuous shooting mode regardless the film advance mode.

(2)Manual exposure compensation: ±3 stops in 1/3-stop increments set with the Quick Control Dial or exposure compensation button and Main Dial.

(3)AEB and manual exposure compensation can be set together.

(1)Auto AE lock: Operates in One-Shot AF mode with evaluative metering when focus is achieved.

(2)Manual AE lock: AE lock button activates AE lock in all metering modes.
