I have an Oly D400Z and sometimes the pictures come out a little dark. The manual ::joke:: talks about spot metering, what is it and how it is done ?

thanks,

bob

Bob, you have to read the left side of the manual. ;o) Kidding aside, I also have the D400z, so if you go to the second menu in record mode, and with the  and + buttons move the arrow to the right symbol [o]. This enables spot metering. If your picture is dark you can set the EV value + = to 2. Try it and check the results. This is on the first menu in record mode, just use the + and - buttons. Remember to push the OK button after you make any change. See the links below for exposure and spot metering. They can explain it better than I can.

Sorry about the link, here it is. The current article is on exposure. On the left side of the page click on Articles, select metering from the drop down menu under Technical Subjects.
