TTL
Metering
System
The
Nikonos-V uses a (through-the-Iens)
TTL
center-
Ie
printed circuil board
weighted stopped-down metering system which
measures the light passing through the lens
to
deter-
mine the correct exposure.
When
the shutter
re
lease button
is
depressed halfway,
activating the exposure meter, the camera's micro-
computer automatically selects the shutter speed
that corresponds to the aperture set,
ASAIISO film
speed
in
use, and scene brightness, and causes the
appropriate viewfinder
LED
indicators
to
light.
The
camera places special emphasis
on
the bright-
ness at the center of the viewfinder, although the
meter measures the brightness of the entire scene.
Correct exposure
is
assured when the main subject
is
placed
in
this central a
rea.
