13. OS 78 11 I Metering system 63 zone Dual layer Metering Sensor The EOS 7D features a completely new metering sensor the iFCL sensor to capture perfectly exposed images time after time FCL stands for Focus Colour and Luminance and hints at the fact that the metering system not only measures colour and luminance data but also uses information from the AF system The metering sensor has 63 measurement zones and is a Dual layer design with each layer sensitive to different wavelengths of light Exposure sensors in general are more sensitive to red light This means when photographing subjects with lots of red in them skin tones for example the sensor receives a stronger signal as it only detects brightness levels This can lead to the wrong assumption that there is more light than there really is The dual layer system overcomes this by having one layer sensitive to red green light and one layer sensitive to blue green light Both these layers measure the light in their respective spectra and the metering algorithm then combines the two to provide an accurate light reading To complement the new metering sensor the EOS 7D also has a newly designed metering algorithm During the exposure reading the EOS 7D looks to see which points in addition to the selected point have achieved or almost achieved focus This information lets the camera know which part of the image is the subject It then takes metering readings from the
