In general, I keep the Leicanon 10D in the aperture priority mode, and 
again in general, I stop down about 1-2 stops from maximum aperture.  
Then I let the camera's brain which is younger and more vigorous than 
mine do the rest of the work.  It is indeed stop-down metering.  Yet 
I've found I can go go about three stops from maximum before I notice a 
difference on the screen.
