[QUOTE="J-see, post: 517874, member: 31330"] It's just another metering mode but one that heavily weighs the highlights in its calculation. When I shoot landscape I always use it to control my highlights. It's very easy to blow out a part of the sky but when I set it to highlight metering and then expose "correctly", it ensures my highlights. I'm of the opinion the most important part of shooting is correctly capturing the highlights and this metering mode makes that a pretty easy task. Evidently you can do it with any metering mode but with the others you too often have to check the histogram to be sure you didn't blow them. I also use it when shooting portraits since it goes well with my ISOless shooting but I can't say how well it'll work with high ISO. [/QUOTE]
