Metering

[Bear Dale]

What is your main method of in camera metering? Do you change it often or pretty much always use the same setting?

[William]

Change it often, For Surfing the prefered method is Spot metering , Seascapes at Sunrise Multi- Segment/ Pattern works for me

[Bear Dale]

Thanks William, I've pretty much just always used Evaluative. I'm going to start to explore the others.

[Kym]

Depends!
For wildlife / birds centre weighted.

[old dog]

I mostly use centre weighted. Hardly ever matrix or spot.

[swifty]

Centre weighted probably most frequently, followed by matrix then spot last.

Depends!
For wildlife / birds centre weighted.

And for far away birds, spot!

[Bear Dale]

Thanks for the replies everone!

[AVALANCHE]

I use spot around 90% of the time and matrix 10%. I never find myself using centre-weighted for some reason.

[Fedgrub]

For street I use spot metering, almost everything else I use evaluative.

Im only a rookie and 99% of the time use evaluative maybe thats what Im doing wrong.
