Metering Systems | Nikon Nikon N75 specification

Metering systems and exposure are important factors for taking pictures. Knowing the characteristics of each factor helps you widen your photographic expression .

• Metering Systems

As the proper combination of shutter speed and aperture for correct exposure is determined according to subject brightness and film sensitivity, measuring subject brightness is very important.

In general, brightness inside the viewfinder is not uniform. The N75/ N75QO provides two metering systems: Matrix Metering (page 26) and Center- Weighted Metering (page 60). With Matrix Metering, data on scene brightness is detected by the 25-segment Matrix sensor. Using G- or O-type Nikkor lenses, the N75/ N75QO camera performs 25-segment 3D Matrix Metering by adding distance information to determine correct exposure. With Center-Weighted Metering, brightness is detected at the central areas including five focus areas in the viewfinder. With the N75/N75QO, Matrix Metering is automatically selected when the exposure mode is set to other than Manual and Center-Weighted Metering is selected with Manual exposure mode.

• Exposure

Light from the subject passes through the lens and exposes the film. Light reaching the film is controlled by the shutter speed and aperture. The proper combination of shutter speed and aperture for subject brightness and film sensitivity results in the correct exposure.

The N75/ N75QO's 'g' mode (page 26), Auto-Multi Program (page 54) and Vari- Program (page 34) automatically control shutter speed and aperture. Vari- Program gives you the option to choose from Portrait, Landscape, Close-Up, Sports or Night Portrait mode-designed for specific picture-taking situations and photographic images. In Shutter-Priority Auto exposure mode (page 56), you can manually set shutter speed and the camera automatically sets the proper aperture. In Aperture-Priority Auto exposure mode (page 58), you can manually set aperture and the camera automatically sets the proper shutter speed . In Manual exposure mode (page 60), you manually set both shutter speed and aperture.
