      Hey saurav as you said about the recompositing in center weighted metering , we have to do it same as we do in focus and recompose or is there any method to it ?
      Thanks :)

    It's simple. For portraiture and product photography, use the spot metering mode. For landscapes, use matrix metering mode or, when you want to highlight a subject in your landscape, use spot or center weighted metering mode.

      What's "matrix" metering on Canon ? I only have Evaluative, Partial, Dpot, and Center.

      @maxshelltrack9720 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It would probably be evaluative because it's looking at the whole scene.

    like how clear and concise this is. so many of the videos on this are like 20 minute long dissertations that beginner level photographers are not going to have the patience or background to appreciate. this sums it up really nicely

    metrix - default, mostly correct way to go.
    spot -shooting birds or other smaller things in the scene.
    center -if something or a person in middle is important and wants to ignore background

Also you have a great speaking voice. At times your tone made me think of a frightening scene in a movie. It’s cool. I don’t know if that made any sense and now the comment is super long, anyway Thank you
