Hello all,
Just wanted to be sure about this: if I point the camera (say, in spot metering mode) to a white wall, then it will be metered for 18% grey and will come out as 18% grey if I don't adjust settings. This is right, isn't it? Also, I have read that if you wanted to take some portrait, just meter the brightest part of the persons face, and then increase the exposure by two stops so the white truly comes out as white and not as grey. But that seems quit a lot for me... Anybody help please?
Thanks!
