Exposure

 

 

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 8 mm circle in center of frame.

 

 

 

 

Diameter of circle can be changed to 6, 10, or 13 mm, or weighting can

 

 

 

 

be based on average of entire frame (non-CPU lenses use 8-mm circle)

 

 

 

• Spot: Meters 3.5 mm circle (about 2.5% 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
