Metering system is automatically changed in center-
weighted metering mode when a lens other than one of
those mentioned above is mounted, or no lens is mounted
in matrix metering mode.
For further details, see your
instruction manual.
Metering area and its output
Two matrix vertical sensors incorporated in the multi-
meter finder detect the vertical and horizontal position.
When the sensor detects the vertical position of the
camera, the metering output of the top and bottom of the
segments changes automatically. (The sensor does not
detect the reverse position.)
See page MS.
Center-weighted metering
Multi-meter finder DP-20 calculates the correct exposure
by using the metering output (BVO) of the SPD sensor.
(See page MS.)
Central-weighted metering concentrates 60%
*
10% of the
metering of the meter’s sensitivity. (Approx. 12mm circle
at the center of the viewfinder) .
AE action finder DA-20 calculates the correct exposure
using the metering output of a cell of the SPD on the
upper part of the eyepiece.
Spot metering
by
The spot metering sensor is incorporated into the camera
body .
SPD is located in the AF sensor module.
The area metered is represented by the approx. 5mm-
diameter circle at the center of the viewfinder,
equivalent to the area of the prism of the type K
focusing screen.
