EXPOSURE METERING SYSTEM
The Nikon N5005 provides two types of
exposure metering systems -Matrix
Metering and Center-Weighted Metering.

MATRIX

METERING

In
auto exposure modes (programmed
auto, shutter-priority auto and aperture-
priority auto), Matrix Metering
is
selected.
The Matrix Metering sensor determines
scene brightness by dividing the scene
into five areas, then analyzing each area
for brightness and scene contrast. Thus,
the meter automatically provides the
correct exposure of the main subject in
virtually any lighting situation, without re-
quiring manual exposure compensation.

CENTER-WEIGHTED

METERING

In
manual exposure mode or when AEL
(Auto Exposure Lock) button'
is
used,
the camera automatically switches to
Center-Weighted Metering.
Center-Weighted Metering places special
emphasis on brightness within the
12mm-diameter central area of the view-
finder, and
is
recommended for creating
special effects.
