EXPOSURE
EXPOSURE METERING METHODS
Optional methods are Spot metering, Center-Weighted and Multi-Field
metering. The line on the left of the light balance will flash in the display if
the measuring range is undercut/overshot.
▸ Select CAMERACAMERA
▸ Select Exp. MeteringExp. Metering in the main menu
▸ Select a metering method (SpotSpot, Center-weightedCenter-weighted, Multi-fieldMulti-field)
• The selected metering method is displayed in the header line of the
screen image.
SPOT METERING –
In spot metering, only the center of the image field is scanned and
evaluated. This area is indicated by the circle
1
in the center of the
focusing screen. In Live View mode, spot metering is linked to the
Autofocus metering, i.e. moving the AF metering point also affects the
spot metering field.
CENTER-WEIGHTED METERING –
This method considers the entire image field. The subject elements
captured in the center will, however, impact on the calculation of the
exposure value more so than areas around the edges.
MULTI-FIELD METERING –
This metering method is based on the detection of multiple values. These
values are used in an algorithm to calculate an exposure value appropri-
ate for a good rendering of the assumed main subject.

This circle is not visible in all focusing screen variants.
SHIFTING THE AF/SPOT METERING FIELD IN LIVE VIEW
MODE
In Live View mode, the metering field can be shifted to any position within
the image field using the joystick.
In the two enlarged details, the detail is first moved together with the
metering field that remains in the middle. Only when the detail reaches
the edge of the image field can the metering field by moved to the edge of
the detail by pushing further.
Note
If Spot is used as exposure metering method in Live View mode, its meter-
ing field is coupled with the autofocus metering field, meaning that the
shift will affect both metering fields.
VALUES ABOVE/BELOW THE MEASURING RANGE
Exact exposure metering is not possible if the metering range falls below
that of the camera. The metered values that may still be displayed in the
viewfinder can result in incorrect exposure results.
This is why LOLO is generally shown in the viewfinder if the metering range is
not reached.
EXPOSURE MODES
You can choose from four exposure modes for optimized adjustment to
the relevant subject or to suit your preferred working method: automatic
program (PP), aperture priority (AA) and shutter speed priority (SS), plus a
manual setting option (MM).
▸ Press and hold the thumbwheel (≥1s)
• The large letter representing the selected mode shown in the top
display replaces the standard display.
▸ Turn the thumbwheel
(all four operating modes can be reached in either direction)
• The standard display automatically reappears in the top display
shortly after (about 2s delay) or immediately when the shutter
button is pressed to the first pressure point.
Notes
• Set the shutter speed and aperture by turning the thumbwheel and/or
the shutter speed setting wheel. In both cases half-increments are
available.
• The shutter speed (in T and M) is always set via the shutter speed
setting wheel and the aperture is always set via the thumbwheel. In
both cases, half-increments can also be selected.
In the default factory setting, turning the thumbwheel to the right
decreases the aperture setting values and turning it to the left increases
the values. This can be reversed as needed.
▸ Select SETUPSETUP
▸ Select Customize ControlsCustomize Controls in the main menu
▸ Select Rear Wheel DirectionRear Wheel Direction in the submenu
▸ Select the direction of rotation
The function of both thumbwheels can be deactivated for complete
protection against an accidental change in mode, shutter speed, aperture,
etc.; a manual manipulation of the wheels will then not make any
changes.
▸ Select SETUPSETUP
▸ Select KeylockKeylock in the main menu
▸ Select OnOn or OffOff.
• The relevant icon appears in the top display when ONON is selected and
also in the LCD panel (in Live View mode).
