[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 660626, member: 12496"] I always use single point metering, well, except for moving subjects which I rarely do. This is also what the camera manual says to do, use single point for stationary subjects, and dynamic area for moving subjects, more points for the fastest. D7100 manual page 71, but it's in the manual for all models. I guess I'm old fashioned, but I like to chose the point that will be in focus, rather than letting the camera just find one somewhere. And I prefer Center Weighted metering, because I can sort of comprehend what it will do. My experience with Matrix is that it is often adversely affected by some bright area at a far edge, causing slight underexposure, but center metering is more characteristic of my actual subject that I perceive.
