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. It can be used with subjects that
dominate the composition, for example.
Center-weighted metering is also recommended
when using lters with an exposure factor (lter
factor) over 1×.
The size of the area assigned the greatest weight can
be selected using Custom Setting b2 [Center-
weighted area].
N
[Spot
metering]
The camera meters a circle with a diameter of 3.5 mm/
0.14 in. (equivalent to approximately 2.5% 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 AF-area mode (0102) is set to [Auto-area
AF], [Auto-area AF (people)], or [Auto-area AF
(animals)], 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.
