N Spot Metering

The brightness is measured only within a limited area at the center of the viewfinder. You can use this in combination with the AE Lock (p.107) when the subject is extremely small and the correct exposure is difficult to obtain.

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.299) in the [ACustom Setting 4] menu is set to [Permitted].)

In [6. Link AE to AF Point] of the [ACustom Setting 1] menu, you can link the exposure and AF point in the focusing area during multi- segment metering.
