[QUOTE="Expertneo, post: 250659, member: 19107"] Dear All, I did not find such a thread, thus I opened it. I revealed a problem with my Nikon D610. One I was shooting in low light I noticed that using matrix metering gives inconsistent result. I observed that even if the metering is set to matrix, the middle of the frame play weighted role in the metering. I shoot with one center focus point and once the focus point was moved, the exposure changed while the frame was consistent. I made a test at home. I put the camera on a tripod. I was in aperture priority mode with manual ISO. I used AF-c with single focus point. I set the camera to matrix metering and I moved the focus point around the frame. The exposure changed quite a lot. Moving the af point to a dark are the shutter speed jumped from 1/160 to 1/60. The frame became overexposed just because I moved the af point. It seems the matrix metering is not really consistent and moving the AF point changes the exposure. Could you advice something to solve this problem? It is a pain in my "back" since I like night photography where the contrast is big ===> the matrix metering is not reliable in many cases Thank you! Bence [/QUOTE]
