Hi All
I have just started using full manual and have a couple of questions that I'm hopeing you can help with. Up till now I've beed using Av or Tv.
My first question is that when I use manual I notice an exposure compensation graph moving up and down between -2 to +2 depending on where I focus the camera. You don't seem to be able to set the exposure compensation value but the value just changes depending on how light the area is that I focus on. Do I need to do anything with this exposure compensation or do I just leave it to set what ever value it sets?
My other question is that I see you can adjust what light metering mode it is in, I was under the impression that in full manual you can't change the light metering mode as you are controlling aperture, shutter speed and iso so you are totally controlling the exposure. Maybe I am missing something as I can see why you could control light metering in Tv and Av but can't see why you be able to change the metering mode in Manual?
Advice will be appreciated as usual.
