Digital
Camera: Understanding Meters
Digital cameras
are usually calibrated to a specific color. All subjects and scenery
are exposed as middle gray or average.
If all photos
had the same lighting the meter would expose
all objects equally. However, there is no way to set the meter so
it varies with the lighting so it will naturally make light objects
too dark and dark objects too light to equalize all.
To compensate
for these variables in meter digital cameras now have advanced systems
for metering for multiple metering points and computing analysis.
The more advanced the system, the more expensive the digital
camera.
