Matrix Metering (page 42)
The Matrix Meter employed in the F65/F65D uses
a six-segment sensor to achieve superior
metering results even in extremely complex
lighting conditions. The microcomputer analyses
data including scene brightness and contrast—
and subject distance when you use a D- or G-
type Nikkor lens (the
3D Matrix Meter
is
performed)—and makes the calculations
necessary to assure correct exposure. This camera automatically selects Matrix
Metering in all exposure modes except Manual exposure mode (page 58).

About exposure mode
Four exposure modes besides
a
(AUTO mode) and five Vari-Program
modes are available with this camera. Utilising the characteristics of each
exposure mode, effective results can be achieved with various types of
subjects or shooting situations. And the five Vari-Program modes enable
you to easily choose proper exposure controls by simply selecting the
desired mode for various shooting situations.
See each reference page for operating instructions and details.

Characteristics/Shooting situations
The easiest exposure mode for general shooting. Camera controls
shutter speed and aperture automatically depending on the subject’s
brightness—allowing you to freely take pictures, concentrating only
on the shutter release opportunity.
Use this mode to take portraits. The background is blurred to
accentuate your main subject.
Use this mode to take pictures of distant scenes. The overall
landscape will be sharply focused.
Use this mode to take up-close pictures of subjects such as flowers
or insects. Your close-ups will be taken with an artistically blurred
background.
Use this mode to take sports pictures. Using a fast shutter speed, it
freezes the motion of fast-moving subjects to create exciting action
photos. Continuous shooting is possible with this mode.
Use this mode for subjects with an evening or night background. This
mode captures all lighting in the scene, including the foreground
subject which is illuminated by the flash, and the background. When
flash is cancelled, a natural-looking night scene or twilight scene can
be captured.
Camera controls shutter speed and aperture automatically, while
allowing you to make other settings, such as Flexible Program (page
53) or Exposure Compensation (page 61).
You set desired shutter speed, and the camera selects the correct
aperture. Freeze the motion of a moving subject using a fast shutter
speed or blur the subject using a slower speed.
You set the desired aperture, and the camera selects the correct
shutter speed. Lets you determine depth of the in-focus area, so you
can choose whether near or far subjects are in sharp focus, or
whether foreground or background is to be blurred.
Shutter speed and aperture are set manually. Suitable for situations
where it is difficult to attain the desired effect using other exposure
modes. Long Time exposure is possible with this exposure mode.
