Certain metering systems cannot be used with some lenses (page 33).

Metering systems and characteristics of each are as follows:

q: Matrix Metering/3D Matrix Metering

Matrix Metering provides correct exposure control using a 10-segment Matrix Sensor. With D- or G-type Nikkor lenses, 10-segment 3D Matrix Metering automatically activates, applying scene brightness, scene contrast and subject distance information to ensure even more accurate exposure control. Center-Weighted or Spot Metering is recommended for the Auto Exposure Lock function (page 54) or exposure compensation (page 56).

w: Center-Weighted Metering

Center-Weighted Metering places 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

Exposure

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 Metering when you want to base the exposure on a very small area within the frame, such as with a backlit subject or low- contrast scenes. When Spot Metering is selected, shifting focus area also shifts Spot Metering area to a corresponding position. However, Spot Metering area stays at center (does not shift) as long as Dynamic AF Mode with Closest Subject Priority (page 39) is activated or non-CPU lens (page 32) is attached.
