SWITCHING THE METERING MODE
Multi (16)-segment metering, center-weighted metering, or spot
metering mode can be selected in this camera.
Select the desired metering mode with the metering mode
switch.
Using Multi(16)-Segment Metering
This mode automatically measures light in 16 different zones,
enabling proper exposure value in a wide variety of normal and
backlight conditions. (Even backlit subjects do not become dark.)
MEMO
When multi-segment metering, the
scene in the viewfinder is metered by
16 different zones as shown in the
illustration.
MEMO
When a lens other than an FA J, FA, F or A lens is attached, the
center-weighted metering mode is automatically set even if you select
the multi-segment metering mode. (This type of lens can only be used
when custom function number [CF17] is set to [2]. See pages 134 and
142.)
