  • Introduction to Metering on a DSLR
    Getting more from your Camera Topic 4 - Introduction to Metering on a DSLR Learning Outcomes In this lesson, we will look at another important feature on a DSLR camera called “Metering Mode”. By the end of this lesson, you will have a better idea of the role that metering plays when thinking about exposure in your photography. Page | 1 Introduction to Metering on a DSLR Introduction to Metering “Metering Mode” may also be called “Camera Metering”, “Exposure Metering” or even “Metering”. One of the things that might have already frustrated you is a scenario in which some photographs come out too bright or, in some cases, too dark. By understanding the metering modes, you will be better equipped to tackle this. Let us first talk about what metering is, before moving on to see how it works and how you can use your understanding of it, to enhance your photography. 1) What is Metering? Metering, in its simplest meaning, is basically how your camera determines what the correct shutter speed and aperture should be, depending on the amount of light that goes into the camera and the sensitivity of the sensor. In the age of digital technology, we are fortunate enough that every DSLR camera is built with an integrated light meter. This device is clever in that it automatically measures the reflected light and determines the optimal exposure. It’s important to look at the most common metering modes that are found in digital cameras today: 1. Matrix Metering (Nikon), also known as Evaluative Metering (Canon) 2. Center-weighted Metering 3.

  • Understanding Metering and Metering Modes
    Understanding Metering and Metering Modes Every modern DSLR has something called “Metering Mode”, also known as “Camera Metering”, “Exposure Metering” or simply “Metering”. Knowing how metering works and what each of the metering modes does is important in photography, because it helps photographers control their exposure with minimum effort and take better pictures in unusual lighting situations. In this understanding metering modes article, I will explain what metering is, how it works and how you can use it for your digital photography. What is Metering? Metering is how your camera determines what the correct shutter speed and aperture should be, depending on the amount of light that goes into the camera and the ISO. Back in the old days of photography, cameras were not equipped with a light “meter”, which is a sensor that measures the amount and intensity of light. Photographers had to use hand-held light meters to determine the optimal exposure. Obviously, because the work was shot on film, they could not preview or see the results immediately, which is why they religiously relied on those light meters. Today, every DSLR has an integrated light meter that automatically measures the reflected light and determines the optimal exposure. The most common metering modes in digital cameras today are: 1. Matrix Metering (Nikon), also known as Evaluative Metering (Canon) 2. Center-weighted Metering 3. Spot Metering Some Canon EOS models also offer “Partial Metering”, which is similar to Spot Metering, except the covered area is larger (approximately 8% of the viewfinder area near the center vs 3.5% in Spot Metering).
