Metering

Metering determines how the camera sets exposure.

Option

Description

L

[

Matrix 

metering

]

The camera meters a wide area of the frame and 
sets exposure according to tone distribution, 
color, composition, and distance for results close 
to those seen by the naked eye.

M

[

Center-

weighted 
metering

]

•

The camera assigns the greatest weight to the 
center of the frame. It can be used with 
subjects that dominate the composition, for 
example.

•

Center-weighted metering is also 
recommended when using filters with an 
exposure factor (filter factor) over 1×.

•

The size of the area assigned the greatest 
weight can be selected using Custom Setting 
b3 [

Center-weighted area

].

N

[

Spot 

metering

]

•

The camera meters a circle with a diameter of 
4 mm/0.16 in. (equivalent to approximately 
1.5% of the frame). This ensures that the 
subject will be correctly exposed even when 
the background is much brighter or darker.

•

The metered area is centered on the current 
focus point. If [

Auto-area AF

], [

Auto-area AF 

(people)

], or [

Auto-area AF (animals)

] is 

selected for AF-area mode (

0

77), the camera 

will instead meter the center focus point.
