ing Shooting Settings

Select Metering from the Quick settings display to adjust the setting (A 48).
The metering method determines how the camera sets exposure. The following options 
are available when the mode dial is rotated to a, b, c, or d (matrix metering is always 
used in e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l modes).

C

Metering is available with CPU lenses only. In matrix metering, exposure is set using a 420-pixel RGB 
sensor. Use a type G or D lens for results that include range information (3D color matrix metering II). 
With other CPU lenses, 3D range information is not included (color matrix metering II).

E

Metering can also be selected from the Custom Settings menu (A 109).

p

Matrix (default setting)
Recommended in most situations. Camera meters a wide area of the frame and instantly 
sets exposure according to distribution of brightness, color, distance, and composition for 
natural results.

q

Center-weighted
Camera meters entire frame but assigns greatest weight to center area. Classic meter for 
portraits.

r

Spot
Camera meters exposure in active focus point only (if N (Closest subject) is selected 
for AF-area mode (A 58), camera will meter center focus point). Ensures that subject will 
be correctly exposed, even when background is much brighter or darker.
