Metering

Normally, the matrix metering system will provide the

optimum exposure for your shot. However, you can

choose from 3 metering modes for shots where you want

to select a different exposure level (AE lock or exposure

compensation) or for particular scenes (such as backlit

shots or shots with very strong contrast).

Turn the metering selector to desired metering system.

1,005-pixel RGB sensor sets exposure based on variety

of information from all areas of frame. With type G or D

lens, camera uses 3D color matrix metering II for natural

results even when frame is dominated by bright (white or

yellow) or dark (black or dark green) colors.

With other CPU lenses, 3D range information is not

included; instead, camera uses color matrix metering II.

Color matrix metering is available when a non-CPU lens

is attached and if the focal length and maximum aperture

of the lens are specified for [NON-CPU LENS DATA]

under [ MISC.] in the [SET UP] menu (➝p.121; the

center-weighted metering is used if focal length or

aperture is not specified).

• For AE lock (➝p.69) or Exposure compensation

(➝p.76), the Spot metering is recommended.

Camera meters entire frame but assigns greatest weight

to area in center of frame 8 mm (0.31 in.) in diameter,

shown by corresponding 8-mm reference circle in

viewfinder.

MEMO

The metering diameter can be changed by the [CENTER-

WEIGHT AREA] setting under [SEXPOSURE] in the

[SET UP] menu. Also, the average metering value of the

entire frame is available (

➝p.157).

Camera meters circle 3 mm (0.12 in.) in diameter

(approximately 2.0% of frame). Ensures that subject will

be correctly exposed, even when back ground is much

brighter or darker.

• Circle is centered on current focus area (in group

dynamic AF, on center focus area of current group;

➝p.56), making it possible to meter off-center subjects

(if non-CPU lens is used or if dynamic-area AF with

closest subject priority is in effect, camera will meter

center focus area).

MEMO

• For improved precision with non-CPU lenses, specify

lens focal length and maximum aperture in [NON-CPU

LENS DATA] under [ MISC.] in the [SET UP] menu.

• When using non-CPU lens, center-weighted metering is

used if focal length or aperture is not specified in [NON-

CPU LENS DATA] under [ MISC.] in the [SET UP]

menu.

• Center-weighted is recommended when using filters

with an exposure factor (filter factor) over 1x.
