CENTER-WEIGHTED
FILL-FLASH
While
the
Matrix meter
can
automatically
measure
up
to
five
different
segments
of
the
scene's
brightness,
the
Center-
Weighted
meter
measures
the
entire
scene
and
emphasizes
its
reading
on
the
center
area
. 8y
pointing
the
center-weighted
area
at
different
parts
of
the
picture,
you
can
choose
which
bright-
ness
level
you
want
for
the
basic available·light
exposure,
as
compared
to
the
Matrix
system
which
uses
computer
evaluation
to
determine
the
brightness/contrast
levels
upon
which
exposure
will
be
based.
If
the
brightness
value
you
have
selected
is
within
the
controlled
shutter/aperture
range
possible,
the
flash
output
compensation
will
be
automatically
set
for
a
natural
fill-flash effect.
The
amount
of
computer selected automatic compensation
available
varies
with
each
Nikon
SLR
model.
For
details, check
your
camera
instruction
manual.
If
you
select a brightness
value
beyond
the
controlled shutter/aperture
range,
the
flash
output
will
be
set
without
compensation,
as
with
standard
TTL
flash
operation
