Metering

Matrix Metering provides correct exposure control using a 10-segment Matrix sensor. With D-type NIKKOR lenses, 10-segment 3-D Matrix Metering automatically activates, applying scene brightness, scene contrast, and subject distance information to ensure even more accurate exposure control.

You might use Matrix metering for outdoor scenes when you want the best average exposure.

NOTE: Center-Weighted or Spot Metering are recommended for the Auto

Exposure Lock function (see page 7-17) or Exposure

Compensation (see page 7-19).
