Using the Multi-Segment Metering

The scene in the viewfinder is metered in 16 different zones as shown in the illustration when using the multi-segment metering. Even in backlit locations, this mode automatically determines what level of brightness is in which portion and automatically adjusts exposure.

Multi-segment metering mode is not available when using a lens other than a DA, D FA, FA J, FA, F or A lens, or when lens aperture ring is set at other than s.
