    A part of me feels like EC is almost pointless when you can change the settings for your exposure on your own in a couple of different ways and still achieve the same desired result.

  3. Thanks great

  4. RandomCaptionVideos says:

    I watched the whole video in confusion to what EC is, that right at the last second he said, EC is the same as changing shutter or aperture in manual mode.

    Hi… How come if I get the right exposure… when I dial my exposure compensation up (+) the light meter in my camera goes down (-) is that normal?

    I WAS WONDERING IF YOU WAS SHOOTING A WEDDING PORTRAIT OF A FAMILY WOULD YOU USE MORE EXPOSURE COMPOSITION TO + OR – EXPOSURE COMPOSITION ON YOUR CAMERA

  9. Thanks a lot for the tips.

  10. 4EVERMYSERENITY says:

    well yes and no, if your pictures are overexposed, you can either under expose your metering to the negative side. Also you can change your exposure to go over or under by changing your aperature or shutter speed as the video indicated. I hope this helps

  11. Great help for me.. thank you! You’re the best!

    Very*

  13. akmalrosli says:

    This is bet complicated to me. When I have an overexposed picture, I just bump up the shutter speed. Hmmm

  14. man, this is complicated. can you just shoot in manual and adjust shutter speed.

  15. stecartmel says:

    hi mark, in this episode you get the background darker fine, but it still looks like a black pair of curtains full of creases. could you do the same pic but have the black backgroung look BLACK !. as in low key ?. thank you very much

  16. domnicaable says:

    sorry for white balance…?

  17. domnicaable says:

    Mark can we use a half part white and a half part black picture for metering correct?

    It’s a little creepy with her smiling like that in the background lolz

    Thank you mark! I HAVE LEARNT SO MUCH FROM YOU.I am new in photography,hoping to be the greatest phenomenon in Nigeria and Africa by extention.Once again,thank you.

  20. silverlithomes says:

    I don’t understand why you use exposure compensation. Why not just change your fstop, or shutter speed to bring down your exposure instead of using a compensation in your camera?

  21. No, that is incorrect. The center weighted metering will try to make that 18% grey. It doesn’t matter which metering method you use. The method just changes what area is being evaluated. They all try to get to 18% grey. You would still need exposure compensation.

  22. hyperboogie says:

    Considering part 1 of the metering tutorial, wouldn’t it also make sense to use center weighted metering? it should meter more correctly without the need for exposure compensation? Am I correct?

  23. Ashkan Ahmadi says:

    you have to set it on A(v) and S/Tv. it won’t work in Manuel mode

  24. how can you get a picture right when you have both black and white panel in the pic at the same time?

  25. note: this does not work on M mode
