Section Two – (b) Metering/
Exposure: Custom Settings b1 to
b6
You’ll find 6 settings within the Metering/exposure menu in
both the D300S and D300. There are no numbering variances
between the two cameras in this section:
▪ ISO sensitivity step value (b1 in both D300/D300S)
▪ EV steps for exposure cntrl. (b2 in both D300/D300S)
▪ Exp comp/fine tune (b3 in both D300/D300S)
▪ Easy exposure compensation (b4 in both D300/D300S)
▪ Center-weighted area (b5 in both D300/D300S)
▪ Fine tune optimal exposure (b6 in both D300/D300S)
The first three custom settings in the Metering/exposure menu
(b1, b2, b3) affect how your camera views steps in its EV
range. Most people like to have their camera work very
precisely, so they’ll use the 1/3 step EV selection of b1, b2,
and b3.
Others might not be as selective and would prefer to change
sensitivity in 1/2 step EV or even whole steps.
