The 'P' setting is not compatible with the 'A' setting as the 'P' pin is in a different location than the 'A ...
This technique requires both a camera capable of calculating the distance information, as well as the lens being capable of communicating the focal distance to the body. Nikon refers to this technique as "3D matrix metering", although different camera manufacturers use different terms for this technique. Canon incorporated this technique in E ...
