By the way, how do you expose to the right?
I donĀ“t like the trial/error system, because sometimes there is no time to do it.
After lots of samples, I've adopted the next procedure with my K20D:
1) Set the
metering mode in SPOT.
2) Set the
exposure mode in M
3) Set
exposure compensation to +3 Ev (in steps of 1/2 EV, 1/3 can't reach +3EV).
4) Point the centre of the viewfinder to the brightest
light zone in the scene that I want detailed.
5) Press the GREEN BUTTON, to save the
exposure of the brightest
light +3EV.
6) Then rea-im what I want , and then shoot.
As you can see, the hysto is completely to the right, without clip lights.
If you save this setting in the USER option, you only have to set it in SPOT, USER, point the brightest
light, re-aim, and shoot.
Better than trial/error 2 or 3 times...
Has anybody tried this before?
