[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 179993, member: 13090"] It sounds like you don't understand how the [I]Exposure Meter[/I] works. First and foremost, it's not an infallible guide to perfect exposure under every condition. It works to help you achieve a proper exposure based on 18% reflectivity, or what we call 18% Grey. If your scene is not "average", or roughly 18% grey, your Exposure Meter will be "fooled" and your exposure incorrect. Read this article from the Nikon database, it will explain in detail: [url=https://support.nikonusa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/8279/~/how-does-an-exposure-meter-work%3F]How Does an Exposure Meter Work?[/url]. I would also suggest you read this article, [url=http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/understanding-series/understanding-histograms.shtml]Understanding Histograms[/url] to help you get a grip on proper exposure. Histograms are the greatest thing to hit digital photography since digital photography itself. [COLOR="#FFFFFF"].....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
