[QUOTE="Eyelight, post: 395130, member: 24753"] The camera meter does it, but displays the EV graphically on the exposure indicator using the current settings as a reference. If we set manually, for instance, 1/100 @ f/16 ( or any other EV15 combination), then we have essentially zeroed the exposure indicator at EV15. If the meter thinks the light requires EV14 settings then it will show us on the exposure indicator -1 stop and if EV16, then show us +1 stop. We can use the meter to sweep a scene by watching the exposure indicator with spot metering or let the camera do the sweeping with matrix. Either way, the exposure indicator is using our EV15 setting to tell us or point us at the EV it is reading. And if we are within the stops marked on the exposure indicator, the meter is providing an EV number, just in a graphical way. [/QUOTE]
