TURNING THE EXPOSURE METER ON / OFF
The exposure meter is turned on by tapping the shutter release
(17), provided the camera is turned on at the main switch (16) and
the shutter speed dial (19) is not set to
B.
The displays in the viewfinder or monitor light up continuously to
indicate that the exposure meter is ready:
in aperture priority mode the LED display of the shutter speed,
and in manual mode one of the two triangular LEDs in the
viewfinder lights up, either individually or in conjunction with the
center circular LED, while the light balance is displayed in the
monitor.
If you let go of the shutter release button without activating the
shutter, the exposure meter remains turned on for around 30s
more, and the relevant LED(s) remain lit for the same time.
If the shutter speed setting dial is set to
B, the exposure meter is
disabled.
Notes:
In aperture priority mode, if correct exposure cannot be
achieved using the available shutter speeds, the shutter speed
display gives a warning by flashing (only in the viewfinder, for
more details, refer to the "Aperture priority mode" section on p.
184).
If the exposure meter reading is below the metering range in
very low lighting conditions and in manual mode, the left hand
triangular LED in the viewfinder flashes as a warning, or the
left-hand bar of the light balance flashes in the monitor. In
aperture priority mode, the shutter speed is still displayed. If the
required shutter speed falls below the slowest possible setting of
32s, this display also flashes in the viewfinder.
If the camera is out of use for an extended period or is stored in
a case, always turn it off at the main switch. This also prevents
pictures from being taken accidentally.
EXPOSURE METERING METHODS
Two metering methods are available on this camera:
Strongly center-weighted metering in
Classic mode. This method
takes account of the entire image field, although the parts of the
subject situated in the center have more influence on the
exposure value calculation than the areas at the margins.
The light reflected by a bright shutter diaphragm blade in the
first shutter curtain is captured by a photo diode and measured.
A choice of spot, center weighted and multi-field metering in
Advanced mode or using live view mode (see p. 176).
Metering with the picture sensor is a prerequisite for this.
