Menu Guide-Custom Settings Custom Setting b6: Center Weight Area When calculating exposure, center-weighted metering assigns the greatest weight to a circle in the center of the frame. The diameter (φ) of this circle can be selected from 6, 8, 10, and 13 mm (the default option is 8 mm; note that the diameter is fixed at 8 mm when a non-CPU lens is used, regardless of the setting selected for Non-CPU lens data in the shooting menu, and that a setting of 13 mm is equivalent to 10 mm when high-speed crop is on).
