Exposure metering system
The Nikon FE2 employs a through-the-lens (TTL) center-
weighted full aperture exposure metering system which meas
ures the light passing through the lens at maximum aperture,
thus assuring a bright finder image during shooting. Exposure
measurement emphasis is placed especially on the brightness
in the 12mm dia. central area, although the meter reads the light
over the entire focusing screen. Correct exposure is assured
when the main subject is placed in this central area.
