Photography Tip: Metering Part 2: Exposure Compensation

13 years 1 month ago - 11 years 3 weeks ago #35050 by PhotographyTalk
So this video is another great example of how you can spend a few minutes learning more about your camera to improve your photos . When you're taking a photo, your camera's light meter attempts to average out everything to get a middle of the road gray to determine the correct exposure. As discussed in this video, your camera can be tricked, and this is when exposure compensation comes in . Exposure compensation will allow you to manually correct the camera's incorrect metering. Mark Wallace in this video really does a fantastic job taking you by the hand and showing you step by step how to over come a camera's incorrect metering.
