It only works in manual mode with basically aperture priority. Set the aperture, press the green button and you've got the correct shutter speed for center weighted metering (matrix is not available except on "A" lenses. As long as the light is constant, the setting is fine, but does not automatically change if the light does. In that case, press the green button again. It takes less than 1 second for the camera to compute the correct shutter speed.
