[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 32800, member: 1061"] Absolutely it will make a difference. You have 3 metering modes: [B]Matrix:[/B] The camera evaluates the entire scene within the viewfinder. This is the default setting, and is usually good for most situations. [B]Spot:[/B] Usually used for back-lit scenes and meters only at the center-most point. This setting can be useful for still life shots, but I wouldn't recommend it on moving subjects. [B]Center-weighted:[/B] Gives priority to the center, but also considers the rest of the frame. At a football stadium, the lights are all pointed down towards the field. You don't care about how well lit the crowd is, you want to focus on the action. Specifically, the player you're photographing. I wouldn't get overly concerned with the actual setting number. You can play with it to see if it gives you better results, but it probably wouldn't be noticeable. [/QUOTE]
