Checking the Sensitivity in Capture Mode
Press the 4 button in Capture mode. The set sensitivity is displayed in the viewfinder.
You can display the number of recordable images by pressing the 4 button when the exposure mode is set to K (Sensitivity Priority).
Expanding the Dynamic Range
Dynamic range is the ratio that indicates the light level expressed by the CCD pixels from bright areas to dark areas. The larger it is, the better the whole range from dark to bright areas will appear in the picture. By expanding the dynamic range, you can expand the light level expressed by the CCD pixels, making it more difficult for bright area to occur in the image. Press the mc button in the [Sensitivity] screen to turn this function on or off. When turned on, the dynamic range is expanded to 200%. The sensitivity range is reduced to ISO 200 to 3200.

Selecting the Metering Method
Choose the part of the screen to use for measuring brightness and determining exposure. The following three methods can be selected. The default setting is L (Multi-segment metering).

Use the four-way controller (45) to select a metering method.
Using the Multi-Segment Metering
The scene in the viewfinder is metered in 16 different zones as shown in the illustration when using the multi-segment metering. Even in backlit locations, this mode automatically determines what level of brightness is in which portion and automatically adjusts exposure.
Multi-segment metering method is not available when using a lens other than a DA, DA L, D FA, FA J, FA, F or A lens, or when lens aperture ring is set at other than s.
103 Linking AF Point and AE during Multi-Segment Metering
In [5. Link AF Point and AE] of the [A Custom Setting 1] menu (p.78), you can link the exposure and AF point in the focusing area during multi-segment metering. The default setting is [Off].
Off On Exposure is set separately from AF point. Exposure is set in accordance with AF point.
Using the Center-Weighted Metering
Metering is weighted at the center of the screen. Use this metering when you want to compensate the exposure by experience, instead of leaving it to the camera. The illustration shows that sensitivity increases as the pattern height increases (center). This mode does not automatically compensate for backlit scenes. 4

Using the Spot Metering

With spot metering, brightness is measured only within a limited area at the center of the screen as shown in the illustration. You can use this in combination with the AE lock (p.105) when the subject is extremely small and proper exposure is difficult to obtain.
