[QUOTE="g4crx, post: 345772, member: 28256"] When I first got my camera after using it on Auto for a while, switching to manual confused the s1it out of me lol. Should have read the manual etc but being a typical guy went straight to it, I used to do what you’re doing i.e. take a picture then look at the screen and adjust aperture, shutter speed, ISO accordingly. I was doing this a while until a friend pointed out what the light meter was and how it worked – it was like a halleluiah moment! Not looked back since, 99% I can get the exposure correct without having to review pics and just going on the light meter index. [/QUOTE]
