Not just that, but it transfers that information to the camera, which translates it into a shutter speed/aperture instantly (or as near as damn it). But still this may not be "correct", otherwise why have exposure compensation/exposure lock/auto bracketing etc. or indeed, a choice of metering patterns. Having a separate hand held meter is no different, only slower. There have been many times when my camera meter and my hand held have differed quite considerably and sometimes the camera was best and other times not. The photographer decides. Regards, Craig Z PS There's always the little guide that comes with the film. * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
