Ex osure Meterin • The exposure metering system of this camera is normally set to Matrix Metering. It automatically switches to Center-Weighted Metering when the exposure mode is set to Manual or when the Auto Exposure Lock function (page 49) is used. Matrix Metering/3D Matrix Metering Matrix Metering provides correct exposure control using a sixsegment 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 . 48
