Exposure Metering System
TTL full aperture exposure metering system; 1. D-/G-type Nikkor lenses support 3D Color Matrix Metering II using the 1005-pixel CCD 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
