Exposure metering
3D Color Matrix Metering automatically
calculates the optimum exposure
value by evaluating brightness, color,
contrast, selected focus area and
subject-to-camera distance information,
and then referencing the large
onboard database. The combination
of Nikon's exclusive 1,005-pixel RGB
exposure/color metering sensor,
advanced algorithms that reference a database developed
from over 30,000 scenes from actual photography, and finally
high-speed processing results in automatic exposure upon which
you can depend.
Center-weighted Metering concentrates 75% of its sensitivity
within an 8mm circle and the remaining 25% in the surrounding
area. You can change the diameter of the center-weighted circle
using Custom Setting "b6".
Spot Metering can be used with Single Area AF operation to
provide precise metering by reading a 3mm-diameter area that
corresponds to the selected AF area. Or, use it with Dynamic AF
and choose the sensor to be used for metering.

• Dynamic AF with Focus Tracking and Lock-on™
If your subject moves from its original position once you’ve
selected a priority focus area, Dynamic AF ensures accurate
focusing by shifting instantly and automatically from your
selected focus area to the one into which the subject has
moved. Focus Tracking automatically follows a moving
subject, and Lock-On™ continues to track your main subject,
even if something momentarily blocks it in the viewfinder or it
moves off an AF sensor. Nikon’s unique overlap servo method
drives the focus movement of the AF system and the lens
simultaneously to realize fast and accurate AF operation.

to capture the subject the AF system determines to be the
closest to the camera. This mode is ideal when your subject is
against a distant background, or you want to quickly focus on
the foreground subject.

New 11-area AF system features 9 cross-type
cross-type AF sensors
The new advanced Multi-CAM 2000 AF Sensor Module
ensures quick response and razor-sharp focus, even in
challenging shooting conditions. The system features eleven
AF sensors of which nine are scross-type sensors that
effectively cover the majority of the image area. The nine
cross-type sensors operate with AF Nikkor lenses that are
f/5.6 or faster, and performance is not influenced by changes
in f/stop; that means the sensors work with virtually the entire
AF Nikkor lens lineup. With its new AF sensor array, an added
advantage of the new AF module is its ability to easily focus on
subjects in the upper or lower portions of the outer frame area.
The large area covered by each sensor makes focus detection
fast and precise to deliver performance that is free of AF
hunting, even when acquiring very-out-of-focus subjects.
The AF System provides a selection of operating modes, each
designed deliberately to ensure maximum speed and accuracy
because, as an action photographer, you’ll confront so many
different conditions that require an optimized mode.

• Single Area AF
Single Area AF essentially lets you choose among and lock
focus with any of eleven AF spot sensors. This eleven sensor
pattern corresponds with classic composition techniques
known as the “rule of thirds.” The selected focus area is
indicated on the Top Control Panel, and can be confirmed
through the focus indicators (red pointers) in the viewfinder.
