* When the main switch is set at [USER), the multisegment metering mode is selected automatically and no other metering modes can be used. * When a lens with no lens information contacts (lenses made before M lenses) is used, use either the center-weighted metering or the spot metering. The milti-segment metering mode cannot be set. If the main switch is set at .-USER:!. only the center weighted metering can be used. However, the spot metering can be used if USER-SET] function is selected at the main switch is at `USEW position. See page 74. n MULTI( 8 )-SEGMENT METERING This camera incorporates a high-precision eightsegment TTL metering system. Light values are measured in eight segments within the image field, enabling an optimal exposure to be made under a variety of lighting conditions. With conventional averaged metering systems, underexposure of the subject results from the brightness of the background affecting the overall metering. With multi(8)-segment metering, the camera records the brightness in eight zones within the image field and uses these measurements to choose an exposure that will not underexposed the subject. The multi(8)-segment metering system also calculates exposure values for a scene to automatically compensate for high-contrast and other difficult lighting conditions. Even a beginner can achieve excellent results with ease.

MULTI(
8
)-SEGMENT
METERING
This
camera
incorporates
a
high
-precision
eight
-
segment
TTL
metering
system.
Light
values
are
meas-
ured
in
eight
segments
within
the
image
field,
enabling
an
optimal
exposure
to
be
made
under
a
variety
of
light-
ing
conditions.
With
conventional
averaged
metering
systems,
underexposure
of
the
subject
results
from
the
brightness
of
the
background
affecting
the
overall
me-
tering.
With
multi(8)-segment
metering,
the
camera
records
the
brightness
in
eight
zones
within
the
image
field
and
uses
these
measurements
to
choose
an
expo-
sure
that
will
not
underexposed
the
subject.
The
multi(8)-segment
metering
system
also
calculates
ex-
posure
values
for
a
scene
to
automatically
compensate
for
high
-contrast
and
other
difficult
lighting
conditions.
Even
a
beginner
can
achieve
excellent
results
with
ease.
