Pentax 645N2 USING THE MULTI(6)-SEGMENTMETERING MODE

USING THE MULTI(6)-SEGMENT METERING MODE 31

In the multi(6)-segment metering mode, the metering system automatically measures light in six different zones, enabling proper exposure value in a wide variety of normal and adverse lighting condi- tions.

Set the metering mode switch to [ ].

•The center-weighted metering mode and spot metering mode are also available in this camera. See page 55 and 56 for more details.

•When the Adapter 645 for 67 lens or Helicoid Extension Tube 645 attached, the center-weighted metering mode is automatically set even if you select the multi-segment metering mode. The multi-segment mode cannot be used.

MULTI(6)-SEGMENT METERING

This camera incorporates a high-precision six-segment TTL metering system. Light values are measured in six segments within the image field, enabling an optimal exposure to be made under a variety of lighting condi- tions. With conventional averaged metering systems, underexposure of the subject results from the brightness of the background affecting the overall metering. With multi(6)-segment metering, the camera records the brightness in six zones within the image field and uses these measurements to choose an exposure that will not underexposed the subject. The multi(6)-segment metering system also calculates exposure values for a scene to automatically compensate for high-contrast and other difficult lighting conditions. Even a beginner can achieve excellent results with ease.
