Question on Metering

[Anson]

Just wondering. I saw A, S, ISO & exposure compensation being mentioned as a tweak combi.

How does white balancing comes into picture?
When I see that the color is not right?

White balance come to effect mainly on colors instead.

Thanks Bro, was using mainly bounced/diffused manual flash (I know it is abit wasted for 580EX2) for quite a number of my shots. With all the Aperture/Shutter Speed/ISO/Flash/Focus Section in manual mode, I guess the type of metering (matrix/spot/center/etc) does not matter to me most of the time.

There was some bros asking why do I use mostly M instead of A/S/P, for answer is that it offered me the most control of my shots during a photo shoot rather than leaving the camera to decided for me. Personally, I found this method work well with my Canon 18-200mm IS lens.

Yeah go Manual for everything. Full control over cam and flash. Learn more along the way also :bsmilie:
I would usually off my flash and meter my background/subject depending on situation, then adjust accordingly, then on flash, shoot again, then adjust flash setting either FEV or manual.

Understanding White Balance - you won't find exposure related information

Each mode will give you different results. Try experimenting with your camera settings. Personally I prefer center-weighted and matrix.
