You can connect the camera with Remote Assistant and you will see the setting changing accordingly. Also can be seen in exif data.
Well, one of two things is going on: the manual is wrong, or the camera is wrong.
I too see the mutli-segment setting as well in the camera and the exif data in Bridge, but what I don't see is any appreciable differences in images on screen. Maybe there's subtle, and I'm going to try some different shots looking for it and will post. However, that's why I went looking in the manual and found that cite.
Is it possible the the camera is
saying it's using that "pattern" metering and loading that as RAW data, but actually defaulting to center-weighted the way the manual describes it? I'm out of my depth here, but there is a disconnect somewhere; let's hope it's just a copy error and all is well,
