What is your goal here? Are you trying to master your camera and then intend to go back to one of the automatic modes? If your grand goal was to forever adjust manual settings to match your lightmeter then I ask why bother? It's only going to slow you down.

But ... What I read from other forum members (I am not talking about OP here), they looks very cool and professional when telling others they shoot all manual because they have total control on the camera settings even if they just dial to zero.
analog.universe said:I'd also recommend reading about histograms and a technique called "expose to the right". Your meter tells you some information before the shot (if you use the zone system it tells you a lot more information), but after the shot, the histogram will allow you to see how you did, since it's a graphic representation of the tonal range you've captured. You can adjust settings based on what you see there and shoot again.

I am facing similar issues, but have learnt to switch back to one of the automated modes to ensure that I do not miss a great shot. Can someone advise an Internet resource where I can learn more about histograms as I feel this is the next critical leaning point for me. Many thanks in advance
What is the different between this.
Shoot with manual mode:
Set ISO to 100
Set Aperture to f/5.6
Dial the shutter speed until the meter say zero.
Shoot
Shoot with Aperture priority mode:
Set ISO to 100
Set Aperture to f/5.6
Shoot

In same condition with same equipment, the result should be the same. Because both are based on the same in-camera meter reading. So the shutter speed is going to be the same. In manual mode, you need to dial the setting yourself, in AV mode, the camera set that for you.
