exploring the built in light meter:
1. What is the difference between an incident light meter and a reflective light meter? Which is used in the DSLR camera? Incident light meters are known to be handheld and measures the light falling onto a subject. Meanwhile, reflexive light meters are built into the camera and make a reading of the camera measuring luminance. Reflexive light meters are often used in the DSLR camera.
2. Describe how a center weighted meter works. A center weighted meter, averages all of the light in the scene and weighs its average to provide more emphasis to the area of the center of the view finder.
3. What lighting situations can cause the cameras light meter to not work properly? Situations in which the background is either light or dark. As well as scenes with high contrast.
4. What are the steps to over come a misleading reading? Move in close to meter a subject against a much lighter background.
5. In a reflected light meter, what is the tonal value the meter “see” and recommends as the exposure? The light meter is trying to see, middle-grey and average what it sees.
6. Explain in your own words how to make a white object white when using an averaging meter? You provide 2-stops of more exposure/light.. This allows it to interpret middle-grey to capture your desired photo., for both light and dark.
7. Explain in your own words how to make a black object black when using an averaging meter? You provide 2-stops of less exposure/light.
