A3D Color Matrix II Metering

In matrix metering, exposure is set using a 1005-segment RGB sensor. Use a type G or D lens for results that include range information (3D color matrix metering II; see page 384 for information on lens types). With other CPU lenses, 3D range information is not included (color matrix metering II). Color matrix metering is available when focal length and maximum aperture of non-CPU lens are specified using [Non-CPU lens data] item in setup menu (see page 218; center-weighted metering is used if focal length or aperture is not specified).
