Exposure Metering System
I The exposure metering system of this camera is normally set to Matrix
Metering. It automatically switches to Center-Weighted Metering when
the exposure mode is set to Manual or when the Auto Exposure Lock
function (page 49) is used.
Matrix Metering/3D Matrix Metering
Matrix Metering provides correct exposure control using a six-
segment Matrix Sensor. With D-type AF Nikkor lenses, 3D Matrix
Metering automatically activates to use scene brightness, scene
contrast and subject distance information to ensure even more
accurate exposure control. All exposure modes except Manual
exposure and the Auto Exposure Lock function (page 49) employ
Matrix Metering.
I Center-Weighted Metering
Center-Weighted Metering places special emphasis on brightness
within the 12mm-diameter circle in the viewfinder and is thus
useful for basing exposure on a specific area of the scene. The
metering system automatically switches to Center-Weighted
Metering when exposure mode is set to Manual (page 43) or when
the Auto Exposure Lock function (page 49) is used.
