EXPOSURE METERING SYSTEM
The Nikon N5005 provides two types of
exposure metering systems - Matrix
Metering and Center-Weighted Metering.
MATRIX
In
auto exposure modes (programmed
auto, shutter-priority auto and aperture-
priority auto), Matrix Metering
The Matrix Metering sensor determines
scene brightness by dividing the scene
into five areas, then analyzing each area
for brightness and scene contrast. Thus,
the meter automatically provides the
correct exposure of the main subject in
virtually any lighting situation, without requiring manual exposure compensation.
METERING
is
selected.

With Center-Weighted Metering, a backlit subject or scene with
people against a bright sky and/or clouds may lead to an

ensure a balanced overall exposure.
