Description

Matrix: Produces natural results in most situations. Camera meters a wide area of the frame and set exposure according to tone distribution, color, composition, and, with type G or D lenses (0 269), distance information (3D color matrix metering II; with

aother CPU lenses, camera uses color matrix metering II, which does not include 3D distance information). With non-CPU lenses, camera uses color matrix metering if focal length and maximum aperture are specified using Non-CPU lens data option in setup menu (0 159); otherwise camera uses center-weighted metering.

Center-weighted: Camera meters entire frame but assigns greatest weight to center area (if CPU lens is attached, size of area can be selected using Custom Setting b4, Center-

Zweighted area, 0 213; if non-CPU lens is attached, area is 8 mm in diameter). Classic meter for portraits; recommended when using filters with an exposure factor (filter factor) over 1×. *

Spot: Camera meters circle 3.5 mm (0.14 in.) in diameter (approximately 2.5% of frame).

Circle is centered on current focus point, making it possible to meter off-center subjects

b(if non-CPU lens is used or if auto-area AF is in effect, camera will meter center focus point). Ensures that subject will be correctly exposed, even when background is much brighter or darker. *

* For improved precision with non-CPU lenses, specify lens focal length and maximum aperture in Non-CPU lens data menu (0 159).
