Hello Everyone!
Any thoughts on metering modes, good foto instances fro the different modes for the 300D?
Getting ready to go on vacation & shoot my brains out (not literally. man that sounds really horrible) & wanted to get to know my cam/reacquaint myself b4 heading out.
Any tips & tricks, uses. pros & cons for being mindful of adjusting/choosing meter modes when shooting.
thanks in advance!
PEACE

Where are you heading and what types of weather are you expecting there? This should influence the metering modes.

Do you have the hack installed?
If not, the camera sets the metering mode automatically depending on which shooting mode you are using.

The metering modes on the Rebel are automatic. Just check your histogram and you'll be ok.

thanks for responding cool cats.
Yes, I do hae the hack installed.
I am going to Viriginia Beach next week (woohoo!) so the weather should be nice & sunny. Also they have an aquarium there that I ma looking forward to going to.
I often check the histogram as the pic on the lcd can be very deceiving. I do find it hard to get a nice balanced shot tho & often than not have to make major adjustments to the exposure in PS.
Was hoping to bypass some of this in adjusting the cam correctly.
Any advice would be great.
thanks again.
PEACE!

With the hack I believe you have control over the metering modes.
For most images (well balanced in tonality) evaluative metering works very well.
In situations where there is a large area of darker than medium or lighter than medium then partial metering comes in handy.
Partial metering on a dark area and underexposing or partial metering on a light area and overexposing will work.
If there is something of medium tonality either in your scene or at least in the same light then meter off that. Blue sky can be a good example.
This article may be of help.
