[QUOTE="Moab Man, post: 660543, member: 11881"] I'm assuming when you shoot single point focus you're asking what metering to be set at. Generally a whole area metering works well. However, the other day I was photographing inside a restaurant with bright light outside. I used single point metering set to faces so that I would get a good exposure for them. The bright lights would cause a silhouette of the person. Other times I will use center weighted if I'm not after the exact exposure of a given point and I don't have huge contrast between my subject and what is around them. No clear simple answer. Experience will dictate. [/QUOTE]
