[QUOTE="grandpaw, post: 84455, member: 8635"] If you are consistently needing to use the EV adjustment I would like to suggest checking out my "Nikon D7000 Tips" thread that can be accessed from the bottom link in any of my posts. My tip #24 may be the answer that you are looking for. Each of the metering options can be fine tuned individually and tip #24 will explain it. I will cut and paste it below so you can view it quicker, but you may want to check out all of the tips for information that may be useful. Tip #24 Customizing your metering system [COLOR=#ff0000][B]Customizing your metering system[/B][/COLOR] You can choose from Matrix Metering, Center Weighted and Spot Metering. You can also custom adjust each of these choices to get exactly the exposure that you desire. The EV adjustment on the top right hand side of the camera is fine and very useful for individual shots to get them just the way you like, but if you find that any of the three metering choices need to be adjusted on an ongoing basis due to consistently being a little over or under exposed you can custom adjust or tweak each one and save your setting. Using the EV compensation is great for individual images but does not work well for correction of an on going need. It is easy to fine tune each of your camera's metering choices so that you will consistently get the exposure you want and still have the option of using the EV compensation if you need it for single images. [COLOR=#ff0000][B] Here is how you do it[/B][/COLOR] Go to the CUSTOM SETTING MENU which is the third one down on the left and looks like a red pencil Toggle to the right and scroll down to "b" Metering/exposure Toggle to the right and go down to"b5" Fine tune optical exposure Toggle to the right again and scroll up to "Yes" and click OK Choose the metering choice that you want to adjust and toggle to the right Use your up and down arrows to select the amount of adjustment you think you need and then press OK [B]Remember that you may need to go back a few times to make additional adjustments to get it exactly how you want it.
