Almost all metering systems are designed to operate with the camera in
the horizontal position, even the sophisticated matrix systems. The
metering patterns don't make any sense when the camera is held for a
vertical view. Some meter needles don't work properly in that position
because of gravity. Meter horizontally. Then frame your picture.
