Matrix Metering/3D Matrix
Metering
Matrix Metering provides correct exposure control using a 10-segment
Matrix sensor. With D-type NIKKOR lenses, 10-segment 3-D Matrix
Metering automatically activates, applying scene brightness, scene contrast,
and subject distance information to ensure even more accurate exposure
control.
You might use Matrix metering for outdoor scenes when you want the best
average exposure.
NOTE: Center-Weighted or Spot Metering are recommended for the Auto
Exposure Lock function (see page 7-17) or Exposure
Compensation (see page 7-19).
