metering III (other CPU lenses); color matrix metering available
with non-CPU lenses if user provides lens data
- Center-weighted:
Weight of 75% given to 12-mm circle in center of frame; diameter
of circle can be changed to 8, 15 or 20 mm, or weighting can be
based on average of entire frame (non-CPU lenses use 12-mm circle
or average of entire frame)
- Spot:
Meters 4-mm circle (about 1.5% of frame) centered on selected
focus point (on center focus point when non-CPU lens is used)
|
|
Range (ISO 100, f/1.4 lens, 20°C/68°F)
