I called it matrix, but the exif calls it multi-segment. At any rate, this is 
straight metering, No compensation at all. Not to say I haven't done some post 
in Lightroom, but it's essentially as metered by the camera. I read somewhere 
that some wag thought Nikon had really screwed up with the D800 matrix, but 
that hasn't been my experience. I'm awed by what it seems capable of. There are 
other shots with wide Dynamic Range that the meter doesn't seem to breath hard 
while handling. Again, post is necessary for tweaking, but the essential 
exposure is there. I think I recall reading in Thom Hogan's review of the D800 
that it's capable of a little more than 11 stops of dynamic range at base ISO 
of 100.
