[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 568451, member: 13090"] I've got my D7100 here with me (the D750 is in the car) and I too shoot in Manual mode using BBF. That being said, when the camera is active, and by this I mean the information display in the viewfinder is illuminated, the light meter is also "active". Neither the shutter-release button nor the AE-L/AF-L button need to be pressed to "wake up" the camera's internal light meter. I can tell the light meter is active because I have Auto-ISO enabled and without depressing any buttons the ISO changes to give me proper exposure (based on the shutter speed/aperture I have dialed in) based on the ambient light. Maybe it's different on the D500, I don't know, but I don't think [I]either[/I] button affects metering. [/QUOTE]
