camera. Exposure can be fine tuned separately for each
metering method by from +1 to –1 EV in steps of

At the default setting of Off , exposure only locks when the AE-L/
AF-L button is pressed. If On is selected, exposure will also lock
when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway.

When calculating exposure, center-weighted metering assigns the
greatest weight to a circle in the center of the frame. The diameter (
φ
)
of this circle can be set to 6, 8, 10, or 13 mm or to the average of the
entire frame.
Note that the diameter is fixed at 8 mm when a non-CPU lens is used.

Fine-Tuning Exposure
Exposure fine tuning is not affected by two-button resets. Note that as the exposure
compensation (
E ) icon is not displayed, the only way to determine how much exposure has
been altered is to view the amount in the fine-tuning menu. Exposure compensation
(
0 107) is preferred in most situations.
