[QUOTE="Stoshowicz, post: 394244, member: 31397"] I always wondered why the camera couldn't expressly function as an absolute light meter rather than meter relative to exposure. Thats to say, give a numerical value somewhere above completely dark. Calibrated to maximum aperture of the lens. Then I imagine one could more easily leap to the settings they might use. As in , this view has an approximate brightness of eight so Ill go with Iso 400. It seems an increased complication to have the camera compute exposure , and then Ive got to backcalculate exposure compensation or adjustment. Right now I do a lot of rough rule of thumb guesswork and don't have time to chimp the shot. Essentially Im thinking it would be a refinement on eyeballing degree of shadow [/QUOTE]
