To develop your spot metering skill try using reference tones, such as green grass, blue sky, white clouds, the (white) skin on the back of your hand (direct sun/ shade) as 'placed' tones (on the exposure indictor) set exposure for the test tone, then measure (the spot on the exposure indicator) where the other tones fall. Setting our cameras to shoot 14bit NEF, setting ADL to auto and using the exposure tools (globally or using a selection) in Capture NX2 is a distinct IQ advantage, I would say a photographic blessing. The destination is, not to over expose (no blinkies at all.) It works beautifully, but it's only one route to a destination. This method is if you like the digital derivative from the B&W film Zone System.

once you've 'placed' this luminance, check the luminance values for the other tones in your scene to see where they 'fall' on the exposure indicator

place the exposure for this luminance on the exposure indicator (set manually aperture/ shutter speed identify in your scene the brightest the tone with the brightest luminance To develop the spot-metering concept further, use the 'spot' to:. Anyone here with ideas to solve or workaround that problem? Mike_GA2011 edited this topic 112 months ago. Refer to pages 219 and 188 of your D7100 manual. I use ViewNX 2 and Capture NX2 for my post processing and I find that the agreement between the in camera histogram and the software histogram is very good. If you are going to crop out those areas then there is no need to adjust for it. I generally rely on Spot metering in my own photos. With those selections made you can review which channel has blown highlights and then adjust your exposure for that area with either Spot metering or Center Weighted Average metering. In the Playback Display Menu make sure that you have Highlights and RGB Histogram selected. There are a couple of camera tools that may help you with your question.
Rawdigger shutter count how to#
Judging from your photostream, which is very good by the way, I think that you already have a pretty good grasp on how to expose to the right (ETTR). Anyone here with ideas to solve or workaround that problem? Any hint would be appreciated. The histogramm does not give sufficient information and the picture itself on the back of my 7100 not too. The really question I have comes with the problem how to overexpose as far as possible without coming in that situation where it is not possible anymore to reduce the exposure without loosing the highlights. Newertheless it is my workflow and not the theme of my post. In capturenx2 I can lower the amount of exposure and the picture becomes darker but the structure in the shadows retains.

As I have learnt so far it really makes sense to me to overexpose my pictures as far as possible.
