Spot Metering
Nearly 100% of the meter’s sensitivity is concentrated in a 4 mm diameter area 
(approximately1.5% of the entire frame) within the selected focus area of the viewfinder. 
(With focusing screens other than EC-B-type, the sensitivity is concentrated in a 6 mm 
diameter area or approximately 3.3% of entire frame.) Use this meter for highly selective 
exposure control. 
When Spot Metering is selected, shifting the focus area also shifts the Spot Metering 
area to the corresponding position.
If you are using a lens without 
a CPU, or accessories such as 
bellows or extension rings, the 
1,005-pixel 3D Color Matrix 
Metering automatically 
switches to Center-Weighted 
Metering. 
If Programmed Auto or 
Shutter-Priority Auto is set, 
the exposure mode switches 
automatically to Aperture-
Priority Auto. The exposure 
mode indicator blinks, F-- 
appears in the Top Status LCD 
panel, and A appears in the 
viewfinder. In this case, use 
Center-Weighted Metering or 
Spot Metering.
