[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 492183, member: 12496"] Not sure I understand the question. The native ISO is ISO 100. That is how the sensor works, and the other ISO values are derived from that. The lens has a maximum and a minimum aperture. Possibly a stop or two closed from maximum is a sharpest value. f/8 or f/5.6 should normally be good, often optimum. Metering depends greatly on the subjects colors, the subject in front of the camera at this moment. A subject mostly of white or light or reflective colors will be underexposed, and a subject of mostly black or dark or nonreflective colors will be overexposed. Just how life is, just how reflective meters work. Incident meters are normally better, reading the light directly (instead of the light reflected by the subject), but incident meters cannot be useful if built into cameras. Most "average" subjects have wide mix of such colors, and come out around correct, but metering is sort of a user skill. See [URL="http://www.scantips.com/lights/metering.html"]How Camera Light Meters Work[/URL] And metering can depend on metering mode. Specifically, Spot Metering is NOT to be used unless you actually understand it, what it is, and how to use it. Spot metering usually greatly confuses newbies. When you see that auto camera modes (A, S, P) don't give precisely correct exposures of some certain subject, the purpose of Exposure Compensation is to be used to correct it. [/QUOTE]
