The highly sophisticated metering system allows free choice of metering mode and exposure mode.
Switching of both metering mode and exposure mode was electronic.
They can be used on later cameras in stop-down metering mode only.
In photography, the metering mode refers to the way in which a camera determines the exposure.
Cameras generally allow the user to select between spot, center-weighted average, or multi-zone metering modes.
Various metering modes are provided to allow the user to select the most appropriate one for use in a variety of lighting conditions.
The metering mode was selected by a sliding switch on the top left-hand side of the camera (from the photographer's perspective).
The current metering mode was displayed on the LCD panel.
Ordinarily the camera starts up in a multi-patterned metering mode.
Pre-A lenses can only be used in manual stop down metering mode and manual flash mode.
