Nikon V1 manual Metering, 124, Matrix, Spot

Metering

Choose how the camera sets exposure. Regardless of the option selected, metering is automatically adjusted to suit the scene when hScene auto selector is selected for Exposure mode.

		The camera meters a wide area of the frame and adjusts for
L	Matrix	contrast (tone distribution), color, composition, and subject
		distance, producing natural results in most situations.
		The camera meters the entire frame but assigns the greatest
M	Center-	weight to the center area. This is the classic meter for por-
	weighted	traits and is recommended if you are using filters with an
		exposure factor (filter factor) over 1×.
		The camera meters the current focus area; use to meter off-
		center subjects (if Auto-areais selected for AF-area mode
		as described on page 144, the camera will meter the center
N	Spot	focus area, while during face-priority AF the camera will
		meter the focus area closest to the center of the selected
		face; 0 25). Spot metering ensures that the subject will be
		correctly exposed, even when framed against a background
		that is much brighter or darker.
