When using a CPU lens equipped with an aperture ring, lock the aperture ring at the minimum aperture (highest f-number).

AMatrix Metering

For matrix metering, the camera uses a 420-pixel RGB sensor to set exposure according to tone distribution, color, composition, and, with type G, E, or D lenses, distance information (3D color matrix metering II; with other CPU lenses, the camera uses color matrix metering II; which does not include 3D distance information).
