Option Description
L
[Matrix
metering]
The camera meters a wide area of the frame and
sets exposure according to tone distribution, color,
composition, and distance for results close to
those seen by the naked eye.
M
[Center-
weighted
metering]
•
The camera assigns the greatest weight to the
center of the frame. This mode can, for example,
be used with subjects that dominate the
composition.
•
Center-weighted metering is also recommended
when using filters with an exposure factor (filter
factor) over 1×.
•
The size of the area assigned the greatest weight
can be selected using Custom Setting b5
[Center-weighted area].
N
[Spot metering]
•
The camera meters a circle with a diameter of
4 mm/0.16 in. (equivalent to approximately 1.5%
of the frame). This ensures that the subject will
be correctly exposed even when the background
is much brighter or darker.
•
The metered area is centered on the current
focus point. If [Auto-area AF] is selected for AF-
area mode (
0
113), the camera will instead
meter the center focus point.
t
[Highlight-
weighted
metering]
The camera assigns the greatest weight to
highlights. Use this option to reduce loss of detail
in highlights, for example when photographing
spotlit performers on stage.
