Other CPU lenses: Range information is not included when determining exposure (color matrix metering II).

Non-CPU lenses: Color matrix metering is available if focal length and maximum aperture are specified using Non-CPU lens data item in setup menu (see page 196; center-weighted metering is used if focal length or aperture is not specified).
