TTL full-aperture exposure metering system;

 

1) D-/G-type Nikkor lenses support 3D-Color Matrix Metering 

II using the 

 

    1,005-pixel RGB Sensor while other AF Nikkor lenses with built-in CPUs

 

    support Matrix Metering (Non-CPU lenses require manual input of lens data)

 2) 

 

Center-Weighted Metering (75% of the meter’s sensitivity concentrated on the 
8mm dia. circle) given to 6, 10 or 13mm dia. circle in center of frame, or weighting 
based on average of entire frame

 

3) Spot Metering (3mm dia. circle, approx. 2% of entire frame); metering position

 

    can be linked to the focus area when using Nikkor lenses with built-in CPU

 

1) 3D-Color Matrix Metering 

II: EV 0 to 20

 

2) Center-Weighted Metering: EV 0 to 20

 3) 

 Spot Metering: EV 2 to 20 [at normal temperature (68°F/20°C), 

 

    ISO 100 equivalent, f/1.4 lens]
