[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 681390, member: 13090"] Not that I care how anyone shoots but simply by way of explanation... When shooting at high ISO you lose dynamic range and won’t be able to pull up the Shadows nearly as well as you could with images shot at, say, ISO 100 or 200. Highlight Weighted metering meters off the highlights, protects them from clipping, and yes... It does so at the expense of the Shadow regions which will appear under-exposed. The idea being that the Shadow regions will be able to be recovered in post while at the same time preserving Highlight detail. Center Weighted metering, on the other hand, restricts the metering calculation area to a smaller, more centralized portion of the frame. If that's what's important to be metering off of, Center Weighted is the correct metering choice. Different tools for different shooting situations. Highlight Weighted metering doesn't do anything TO the Highlights, it simply preserves them from clipping. [/QUOTE]
