[QUOTE="nickt, post: 660109, member: 4923"] 3d color is the most general purpose mode, so I would use that. Use the other modes for more specific situations. Center weighted gives more consideration to the center of the frame. Spot is a spot. So most scenes, 3d is good. It will consider various elements. Center might be good for people with sky behind them. Spot could meter their shirt or a smaller area. Usually not what you want. I like spot for certain wildlife. Spot metering could help you with say a black cat or a white cat. Either situation would be tricky for the other modes to get detail in the fur. You get good metering on the spot at the cost of over or underexposing the rest of the scene so spot is not a good general purpose mode. [/QUOTE]
