determined according to subject brightness and film sensitivity, measuring

NET

subject brightness is very important.

 

 

In general, brightness inside the viewfinder is not uniform. The F100 provides

 

three metering systems: Matrix Metering, Center-Weighted Metering and Spot

 

Metering. With Matrix Metering, scene brightness data is detected by the 10-

 

segment Matrix sensor. With Center-Weighted Metering, most of the meter’s

 

sensitivity is concentrated on the 12mm-diameter center circle in the viewfinder.

 

Spot Metering sensitivity is concentrated in a small, selected focus area from

 

five available focus areas. Using D- or G-type Nikkor lenses, the F100 camera

 

performs 3D Matrix Metering by adding distance information to determine

 

correct exposure. See page 44.

 

Exposure

 

Light from the subject passes through the lens and exposes the film. Shutter

 

speed and aperture control how much light reaches the film. The combination of

 

shutter speed and aperture appropriate for subject brightness and film

 

sensitivity results in correct exposure—a result provided by the F100’s four

 

exposure modes: Programmed Auto (page 46), Shutter-Priority Auto (page 48),

 

Aperture-Priority Auto (page 50) and Manual (page 52) exposure modes. Also,

 

the F100 offers auto exposure lock (page 54), exposure compensation (page 56)

 

or Auto Exposure/Flash Exposure Bracketing function (page 57) allowing a

 

photographer greater control of exposure than that afforded by Auto exposure

 

modes.
