    The Meter in your camera is what measures the reflected light in a scene. By fully understanding your metering modes you can get the correct exposer for your camera every time!
    Personally I find metering so interesting and I had fun explaining it in this video. If you like the video please give me a thumbs up + comment below on future videos that you want to see.

    So helpful! I'm pretty sure my camera is on evaluative metering right now, and I never knew the differences between all the options until right now! Definitely going to try out partial and center weighted metering! As always, thank you for being so gracious and helpful to all of us inspiring photographers. Can't tell you enough how much I enjoy all of your social media platforms and admire you.. 💕

    GREAT INFO, thanks for taking us back to basics with metering modes: I find myself switching back between spot metering and matrix metering for my Nikon D750! Again, thanks for this

    Wow! Truly inspired by watching this! Inspired because I learned more about my camera's "language". My recent struggle may be explained with correct metering choice as you just taught me. I am shooting indoors a large tractor that is Cat Yellow. That is not lemon yellow (as my images appear) but a warmer school bus yellow. White walls white ceiling cfl/tungsten mix. Adjusting light source accordingly...but get lemon yellow in my result. I think I had left it in spot metering and for hours tried every adjustment. To no avail still squishing lemons! Tomorrow I will focus the metering adjustments in hopes of getting the proper color. Thanks Jana! Woo hoo, I am inspired to keep learning!

    I use my Nikon camera on Matrix metering pretty much all the time. It works for everything except the some of the toughest lighting situations. I think it is the way to go, unless you want to meter for a very specific spot, then I use spot metering.

    Love this! Would love if you could do a more detailed video on this- showing you in real life using the various meter options would be great. Maybe show examples of you shooting your husband in different settings? And show how to make all these changes on the actual camera. I'm a newbie and am lost at this term, but adore your style!

    Canon's default metering mode is Evaluative, not Partial 1:41.
    Matrix Metering or Evaluative Metering mode is the default metering mode on most Nikon and Canon DSLRs.
    You (not we) can't explain Evaluative Metering because you did not do your research before filming this.
    "Evaluative metering is the mostly used automatic metering mode in everyday photography and can be applied in most shooting scenarios.
    As its name suggests, it takes a series of readings in zones that cover the entire frame, and then calculates the overall average exposure value.
    Since Evaluative metering takes into account the entire frame when determining the exposure, it is useful for low-contrast subjects such as when shooting with front lighting or low-contrast landscape." - www.canon.com.hk/en/club/article/itemDetail.do?itemId=10437
    Your explanations are very poor. Keep learning!

    I read a lot that the percentage are more like 1% and 10-15% being spot and partial. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metering_mode

    It depends on what you shoot and not about what you personally choose to do. Seems you don’t know well your metering, you had to read. 🤷🏻‍♂️
