Thumbs up 30D spot metering - 10-17-2006, 03:47 PM


Oh, yeah...

Just playing around with the new 30D. This is a just quick shot testing the spot metering (I know, WB is off). He was under the shade tree with a bright, sunny background.

That was probably the best change between it and the 20D. I got so use to it shooting a 1 series that it was a letdown with the 20D.

Congrats!

Makes me want spot metering. How would you get this shot with a 20D?

AE lock would do it... or exposure compensation or (gasp) manual mode.

Thanks, Jay. Maybe the 5D next year. We'll see how the funds are then.

Thanks, Jim. I'm looking forward to using the spot metering in more challenging situations. Just one more thing to make my job a little simpler.
