Metering
TTL exposure metering using 1,005-pixel RGB sensor
Metering method
• Matrix: 3D color matrix metering II (type G and D
lenses); color matrix metering II (other CPU lenses);
color matrix metering available with non-CPU lenses
if user provides lens data
• Center-weighted: Weight of 75% given to 8 mm circle in
center of frame. Diameter of circle can be changed to
6, 10, or 13 mm, or weighting can be based on
average of entire frame (fixed at 8 mm when non-
CPU lens is used)
• Spot: Meters 3 mm circle (about 2% of frame) centered
on selected focus point (on center focus point when
non-CPU lens is used)
Range (ISO 100, f/1.4
lens, 20 °C/68 °F)
• Matrix or center-weighted metering: 0–20 EV
• Spot metering: 2–20 EV
