Choosing How the Camera Sets Exposure
Metering determines how the camera sets exposure. Choose
the method used and area metered when the camera sets
exposure.
•
In modes other than P, S, A, and M, the camera selects the
metering method according to the scene.
Exposure-Related Settings (Metering
and Exposure Compensation)
Option Description
L
[Matrix
metering]
Produces natural results in most situations. The
camera meters a wide area of the frame and sets
exposure according to tone (brightness)
distribution, color, distance, and composition for
results close to those seen by the human eye.
M
[Center-
weighted
metering]
The camera meters the entire frame but assigns the
greatest weight to an area in the center (the size of
the area can be selected using Custom Setting b4
[Center-weighted area]; if a non-CPU lens or an
AF-S Fisheye NIKKOR 8–15mm f/3.5–4.5E ED lens is
attached, the area is equivalent to a circle 12 mm in
diameter). This is the classic meter for portraits and
is recommended when using filters with an
exposure factor (filter factor) over 1×.
