Center-weighted has options of 12 mm and Average under menu b3. What size area does the Average option consider if it's center-weighted?
I had looked at the manual for my Z6ii but it didn't give any specifics on the Average option. So I did check out some YouTube videos today and finally found a couple that compared the two optionsSteve Perry of Backcountry Safari explains this well in his book and videos... He basically states that the metering methods are different in each iteration and you need to refer to your specific camera's manual for the exact info...but center-weighted metering is tied to the auto-focus points that you've selected, so depending on whether you've selected single point AF or one of the various other multi-point AFs...the area moves around as well as expands... This is one of those issues where there isn't a specific black and white answer that appeals to everyone, and where the user probably needs to set up a test scenario and test each setting for his specific camera to determine which setting suits him... The important thing to learn is where in your camera these settings/adjustments are and how to quickly make whatever adjustments you need...
Don't try that with transparencies, kids.Exactly... College level photography has shifted entirely to "Just get the shot... and get the composition in the frame...We can fix everything else in post. Don't worry about the mechanics."
