The utility presents itself when you want to shoot the same subject
against a variety of backgrounds under varying light conditions. for
instance, shooting a human model successively against a light then
dark backgrounds. By establishing the correct exposure for the first
shot and memorizing it (i.e., invoke the memory function), one can
then proceed immediately to shoot the same subject against the darker
background with correct results.
