METERING SYSTEM SETTING

1.Slide main switch to ON.

2.While pressing metering system button, rotate command dial until your desired symbol - ::•.lfor Matrix Metering or :(.)~ for Center-Weighted Metering appears in LCD panel.

Matrix Metering is possible only with lenses that have a built-in CPU (such as AF Nikkor and AI-P lenses). When a lens without a built-in CPU or no lens is used, the metering system is automatically set to Center-Weighted. In either case, if you lightly press the shutter release but- ton, the ::•.l symbol blinks.
