LMulti-segmented Metering

The scene in the viewfinder is metered in 77 different zones. Even in backlit locations, this mode automatically determines what level of brightness is in which portion and automatically adjusts exposure.

Center-weighted metering mode is automatically set even if you select multi- segment metering mode when using a lens other than a DA, DA L, D FA, FA J, FA, F or A lens, or when the lens aperture ring is set to a position other than s (Auto). (Can only be used if [27. Using Aperture Ring] (p.339) in the [ACustom Setting 4] menu is set to [Permitted].)
