Choose whether [ Matrix metering ] assigns priority to faces
detected by the camera. This setting applies only during
viewfinder photography.
When [ Center-weighted metering ] is selected, the camera
assigns the greatest weight to an area in the center of the
viewfinder when setting exposure. Custom Setting b6 [
Center-
weighted area ] is used to choose the size of the area given the
greatest weight when [ Center-weighted metering ] is selected.

If a non-CPU or AF-S Fisheye NIKKOR 8–15 mm f/3.5–4.5E ED
lens is attached, the size of the area is fixed at a diameter of
12 mm.
