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.
Center-Weighted Metering
o
Center-Weighted Metering places special emphasis on brightness
within the 12mm-diameter circ
le 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.
