Light meter | Matrix: 3D Color Matrix Measurement III (lenses type G, E and D); Color Matrix Measurement III (other CPU lenses); non-CPU color matrix metering is available if the user provides lens data. Center Weighted: Gives approx. 75% of circle information with a diameter of 12 mm in the center of the frame. The circle diameter can be changed to 8, 15 or 20 mm, or the weight can be based on the average of the whole frame (non-CPU lenses use a 12 mm circle). Spot: Measures a 4mm circle (about 1.5% of the frame) centered on the selected focus point (at the center focus point when using a non-CPU lens). Weighing light sections: Available with G, E and D lenses; is equivalent to center-weighted when other lenses are used. |
