Metering, talk about it.

You will spot? which metering mode? point measuring really that important? mention this issue in the jar is a hot topic, many lost in books and modern camera complex metering friends often feel very confused.

I am also one of the lost, in a very long time, I do not know how to treat the camera's various metering mode, in the way of metering self-righteous had a big adjustment and application, only to find that the death was very ugly, camera setting ourselves the multi-segment mode is the best, their changes or other way of metering is not very good. Why is that? I understand, is likely to be poor levels of photography, simple approach, using the camera as a fool, but encountered light environment complex, not sure, surrounded only by law. Although no final result to the photo does not have any effect, but every time I picked up a camera when there are disturbed, was always the final effect is not sure that this is not a good sign, no matter when the Ansel Adams of the on-photography "re-read, Ann masters of advance theory is me down the path of getting started photography is my dream to the top of the POPs, but repeated through regional exposure method, even those few simple list can recite, but the actual application is often and intentions of thousand miles?! why? camera each metering modes on the same environmental monitoring from all different, to which the result is a datum? 18% Gray card of metering is the most accurate, but in many cases, it is very difficult to use the gray card in the actual scenario to test, so that in this case, the camera's point of measurement is the most useful, this is probably the jar has a bit of camera prawns with measuring or not as a basis for the ultimate heart knot.

Modern cameras, especially after entering the AF times, camera capabilities complicate and complete range of moving in the direction, even a minimum grade of models that have previous years did not dare to hope that the technical and functional, this complex functionality, to everyone's heart will engage in complex, however, the function is a good thing, and now features more advanced towards intelligent direction fast forward.

For commentary on modern camera metering is not easy, because modern camera metering becomes more difficult to guess, and God knows what will be the basis of the results, although it is the success rate of the scene is far higher than that experienced expert like me, but in the final analysis, is still very difficult to believe in it wholeheartedly.

The camera metering mode is in fact a long time, the beginning and are based on external metering modes, like Paul les's double-reverse, advanced release capsules, head-up, they are based on an external PC components as metering, the metering mode, to a certain extent, still very accurate, it is time to hold sway in lit.

We all know, in the film, lit by tolerance and post-processing range maximum, so this metering mode to modern perspective indeed error is too big, but it is suitable for the conditions of use. SLR cameras is a revolution, it greatly improves the accuracy of the photography and greatly expanded the photography of Ken, Japan's Asahi Optical company that is today's Pan Pacific Comox, launched the world's first lens metering single lens reflex cameras, the camera's built-in metering technology for comprehensive promotion popularity, at that time, the idea is that either the specification can be achieved only with a photosensitive element for the entire Visual field metering, which is then we called the average metering is the most basic of original one way. The camera has a light, no light machine, of course, the success rate greatly improved, but the user quickly found this metering modes of failure rate is also very impressive, it has a success rate of only rely on a lot of very close to success but also biased results to achieve, but in the meantime the camera's internal measurement of photosensitive elements only a very small part of the Centre, Center spot metering is now referred to as the point of measurement, and performance to another extreme. Its use is extremely unstable, and completely dependent on the users ' experience, experienced it is very perfect, no experience, it's worse than average metering.
