I was wondering if you guys switch your ev settings much on your camera or set it to a certain setting and leave it. Also are there any demonstrations about this topic.
Thank You, Jeremy |

I typically dont change it expcept for a shot or 2 but.....
Nikon D80 owners tend to down it 1 setting to account for the D80's defective metering as not to overexpose. It seems its easier to recover lost shadows then blown highlights.

I use mine all the time and have asked before if there is much difference in using it and changing the other settings but got no answer. I know it doesn't give you much room to adjust and it doesn't do anything with your DOF so not sure if I'm ok or doing something wrong. Hope we get an answer.

I just got a new camera, so I've been adjusting the EV up and down and up and down, to find a good level. Eventually I'll get sick of this, and I'll set it permanently back to zero, and just fix everything in PP. :) I don't use full manual much - for the occasional adjustment where the autoexposure modes get it wrong, adjusting the EV in the is easier than going to full manual.

| There are situations where the EV adjustment can be useful. First, rememeber that the meter wants to make what you're metering "mid-gray." So if you're metering on a highlight, you will underexpose, and if you meter on shadow area, you'll overexpose. In situations where the majority of the scene is very bright (snow, sand) you may need to dial in a -EV adjustment. In situations where the scene is predominantly dark, a +EV adjustment may be appropriate. |
