Well, OK, now that I read this, I agree that it sounds misleading. What
I wanted to say was that I would not _COMPENSATE_ matrix metering
because I don't know in which direction to compensate. What I will do
is _BRACKET_ matrix metering. Then I am quite certain to get a properly
exposed slide.
On a similar note, I have learned to trust matrix metering, and when I
do bracket, in 95% of the cases I end up with the first frame properly
exposed and the one over- and one under-exposed.
I will rewrite the passage above to reflect this. Thanks for pointing
it out.
Cheers,
Boz
