Do you use the internal metering system in your camera?My question is, where is this survey going???
Next, I'll just assume that the "no" vote probably didn't understand the question!!! LoL

Here's more info about why I asked:
I didn't want to bias the responses at first with too much information (motive).
The internal meter systems in cameras read reflected light from the subject. As opposed to an incident meter that is used to measure the light directly. Reflected light meters can be off when the subject is abnormally bright or dark.
I've been doing this for a long time and used to own 3 different hand light meters. I gave the last one away about 8 years ago. I believe the camera internal meters (and camera control systems) have improved to the point where most photographers now, especially out of the studio, are, like me, happy using and do indeed use the camera's metering system.
I'm looking to validate my assumption about most photographers. I teach photography and it's nice to be able to tell a class I have a little more than just my belief when I tell them something.

Thanks for explaining Joe, why you had set up this survey. Even though this is just a small sample size, I think it is fairly representative of how photographers use the internal light meter.I'm looking to validate my assumption about most photographers.
