[QUOTE="Chris70, post: 133821, member: 13633"] Hi all, I've just received my first Nikon and I'm having some difficulty with the metering for low light or night-time shoots. Even when in Manual mode, Matrix metering and varying all of the shooting parameters (aperture, shutter speed, ISO) my camera's meter is fluctuating quite badly, going from -2EV to +2EV and vice versa in a matter of seconds. It's almost impossible to guess the correct exposure. I realise that such dark conditions will cause problems, but night-time shoots are now a lottery. I can't understand why, even in such conditions, the camera won't give me a stable reading on the meter. There's no light source which might affect the reading as I'm out in the countryside. Only the last rays of the sun or occasional starlight is there. This really is a newbie question but any help will be very much appreciated. Cheers, Chris [/QUOTE]
