if they allow manual exposure control use that.
They do, but won't that lead to the same problem if I use the camera's meter to tell me what the right combination of shutter speed and aperture to use? I realize I can dial in anything I want, or shoot a bracket, and choose what looks like the best exposure after several shots at different values, but I was hoping there was a setting that would get me closer to an objectively "correct" exposure on the first try.
This sounds like a basic question to me, which is why I posted in the beginner's forum. A moderator must have moved it here. I apologize for cluttering up this sub-forum. Thanks for your help.
You use it as a starting point, then make adjustments as needed. Since you using a light tent as long as you have the lights set up the same each time you can use the same settings once you figure them out.
