A Matrix Metering
The metering method used is determined by the type of lens attached:
• Type G and D lenses: Range information is included when determining
exposure (3D color matrix metering II).
• Other CPU lenses: Range information is not included when determining
exposure (color matrix metering II).
• Non-CPU lenses: Color matrix metering is available if focal length and
maximum aperture are specified using
Non-CPU lens data item in
setup menu (see page 196; center-weighted metering is used if focal
length or aperture is not specified).
