ExposurExposure Metering Systeme Metering System

Exposure

•Three choices of metering system are available to suit the lighting for

your subject.

Rotate the metering system selector to select the

desired metering system.

•When a metering system is selected, it is indicated in the viewfinder.

•Metering systems cannot be used when a non-CPU Nikkor lens is attached.

•Metering systems and characteristics of each are as follows:

q: Matrix Metering/3D Matrix Metering

Matrix Meteringprovides correct exposure control using a 10-segment

Matrix Sensor. With D- or G-type Nikkor lenses, 10-segment 3D Matrix

Meteringautomatically activates, applying scene brightness, scene

contrast and subject distance information to ensure even more accurate

exposure control. Centre-Weightedor Spot Metering is recommended for

the Auto Exposure Lock function (page 58) or exposure compensation

(page 60).

w: Centre-Weighted Metering

Centre-Weighted Meteringplaces special emphasis on brightness within

the 12mm-diameter circle in the viewfinder, so it is useful for basing

exposure on a specific area of the scene.

e: Spot Metering

Nearly 100% of the meter’s sensitivity is concentrated on the 4mm-dia.

area (approx. 1% of entire frame) within the selected focus area of the

viewfinder. Use Spot Meteringwhen you want to base the exposure on a

very small area within the frame, such as with a backlit subject or high-

contrast scenes.

•When Spot Metering is selected, shifting focus area also shifts Spot

Metering area to a corresponding position.

•Spot Metering area stays at centre (does not shift) as long as Dynamic AF

Mode with Closest Subject Priority (page 40) is activated.
