Custom Setting b6: Center Weight Area
When calculating exposure, center-weighted
metering assigns the greatest weight to a circle
in the center of the frame. The diameter (
φ) of
this circle can be selected from 6, 8, 10, and
13 mm (the default option is 8 mm; note that the
diameter is fi xed at 8 mm when a non-CPU lens
is used, regardless of the setting selected for Non-CPU lens data in the
shooting menu, and that a setting of 13 mm is equivalent to 10 mm when
high-speed crop is on). Highlight b6 Center weight in the second level of
the CSM menu (

multi selector up or down to highlight an option, then press to the right to
make a selection.

whether exposure has been altered is to view the fi ne-tuning menu. Exposure com-
pensation (
