[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 397785, member: 13090"] And in a perfect world that technology probably works really, really well and as I recall it's a moot point if you [I]don't[/I] have a Nikon D or G variant lens on your camera, which I *very* frequently do not. Even then, in my experience, Matrix metering is commonly quite off the beam with it's exposure calculation. Falling back on the "middle grey" line of thinking has explained why my photo's were not matching what I was seeing with the naked eye was what allowed do to compensate accordingly. And really that is what I think is important here: The concept of the meter exposing for middle grey needs to be understood so it can be compensated for because it WILL happen, even when using Matrix metering, and even with a G or D variant lens. Many new photographers get confused why the meter is not exposing such that the photo matches what they are seeing with the naked eye. The reason is the meter, generally speaking, exposes for middle grey. [COLOR="#FFFFFF"]....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
