Metering Control Button
®
To change from one..metering method to the
other,
the Nikon FA
features a metering control button. In its normal "out" position,
you cannot see the red index (Fig.

In this position, the auto-
matic multi-pattern metering method is automatically operating
with the camera set at any of its automatic modes and with
an AI-type Nikkor lens attached
.
At any time, you can change to centerweighted metering by
simply pushing in the button (Fig.
2).
To lock it in position, hold
in the button as you rotate it clockwise until the red index faces
up (Fig
. 3).
With the button at the "in" position
,
metering is
always
centerweighted.

To return the button to the normal "out
"
position
,
rotate it
counterclockwise until the red index
disapp~ars.
Confirm that
the button is in the "out
"
position after you remove you
finger.
Regardless of the position of the button, metering is always
centerweighted when the camera is in the manual mode or
when a lens other than an AI-S
Nikkor,
AI-Nikkor or Nikon
Series
E is
used.
