Hi all, I am new to photography and is always confused with metering and exposure compensation... appreciate all help rendered...
1) Metering
I am confused with the meaning of metering. Is metering a process in which the cam decides what settings to used to get the right exposure based on the spot/area metered?
Is it right to say that in A mode, the cam decide the shutter speed and ISO based on this metering process?
Suppose say i fix the aperture and shutter speed. Would metering off different area of the subject have a effect on the exposure?? Assuming ISO is also fixed at 100. In another words, if we control aperture, shutter speed and ISO, would metering have any effect??
2) Exposure compensation
Suppose say i have to fixed the shutter speed but can play around with the aperture. But at the max aperture size, my pic is still too dark. Would increasing the exposure compensation helps? Assuming ISO is also fixed at 100.
