Metering

TTL exposure metering using 1,005-pixel RGB sensor

Metering method

Matrix: 3D color matrix metering II (type G and D

 

lenses); color matrix metering II (other CPU lenses);

 

color matrix metering available with non-CPU lenses

 

if user provides lens data

 

Center-weighted: Weight of 75% given to 12 mm circle

 

in center of frame. Diameter of circle can be changed

 

to 8, 15, or 20 mm, or weighting can be based on

 

average of entire frame (non-CPU lenses use 12-mm

 

circle or average of entire frame)

 

Spot: Meters 4 mm circle (about 1.5% of frame)

 

centered on selected focus point (on center focus

 

point when non-CPU lens is used)

Range (ISO 100, f/1.4

Matrix or center-weighted metering: 0–20 EV

lens, 20 °C/68 °F)

Spot metering: 2–20 EV

Exposure meter coupling

Combined CPU and AI

Exposure mode

Programmed auto with flexible program (e); shutter-

 

priority auto (f); aperture-priority auto (g); manual (h)

Exposure compensation

–5 – +5 EV in increments of 1/3, 1/2, or 1 EV

Exposure bracketing
