<< Hi All,
I would like to do a little survey.
I have been wondering what metering mode we OLY users use our cameras in,
Auto, Manual, Spot meter and what 0f the time? And possibly Why? I would
try and keep a record for the next few weeks. The outcome may be
interesting.

I think my brain operates in "auto." If I have a "normal" scene with no
backlighting, and no extremely dark or light main subject, I may bracket if
the shot looks good. If the scene is unusual in any way, I spot meter the main
subject, learn how many stops over or under average I want to be, and put it
back on auto with exposure compensation. I wouldn't want matrix metering
because I couldn't figure out what it was doing and how much compensation it
was adding or subtracting.
