For average pictures the matrix metering will give you a good exposure. In all cases you will get an image that is something. For standard backlit scenes or sunsets they will do a very good job. Especially using fill flash where the foreground exposure is provided they do an excellent job. The real trick is to decide what is important to you and expose for that. Many times the metered exposure will give you something other than what attracted you to the scene in the first place. So for the last five percent of creativity you still have to consult the oracle in your head. Don dorysrus@mindspring.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
