While the video below is billed as an "advanced" tutorial, using a camera's built-in spot metering mode is actually very simple. And once you master this technique, exposure mistakes will be a thing of the past.

Andrew Boey is an instructor at Japan's Beyond Photography Academy, and in just nine minutes he explains everything you need to know about spot metering so you can start shooting like a pro. The "Shadow & Highlight" technique he demonstrates is particularly useful when photographing high-contrast scenes without strong midtone areas.

Boey begins with a clear description of how a camera's meter measures the amount of light in a scene, before moving on to explain the finer points of spot metering. You'll see how he takes meter readings of highlight and shadow areas when photographing a portrait inside a dark room with bright light streaming through a window.

Once you learn this very effective metering technique and do a bit of practicing, you will nail correct exposures every time. There are more helpful tips on the Beyond Photography Academy YouTube channel, and be sure to look at our earlier story with a basic tutorial on understanding a camera's metering system.

Understanding and Choosing Camera Metering Modes

In this video we'll be learning about the different metering modes available on your camera and how to choose the best metering mode for the situation you are shooting in.

Digital SLR exposure meters are so accurate because they interpret the actual light passing through the lens, which the mirror flips upward toward the viewfinder.

The camera uses a portion of the light for viewing the image and some for measuring the exposure. If you zoom the lens or place a filter in front of the lens to modify the light, the meter sees the results and takes them into account. Metering system is also linked to the shutter speed and aperture controls. So the metering system understands the effects of both shutter speed and aperture on the recommended exposure.

Centre Weighting

In the old days, most cameras came with a simple centre-weighted light meter. This meter measures the light throughout the image but applies more weight, to the central part of the scene in the viewfinder.
Is about 80% for the centre and 20% for the rest of the image .
Centre weighting is good for shooting portraits of close-up of flowers.

Matrix Metering

This mode is the default meter mode for most Digital Cameras.
It collects exposure data from many points on the screen and uses sophisticated algorithms to decide which points to use in calculating the correct exposure.
Any scenes that don't require the special treatment provided by other methods. You can use matrix mode all the time.

Spot Metering

This method makes its exposure recommendations based only on a centre spot shown in the viewfinder.
Illumination outside the spot is ignored,Your DSLR might allow you to choose the size of the centre spot.

Evaluative Metering mode is the default meteringmode on most DSLRs. It works similarly to the above example by dividing the entire frame into multiple “zones”, which are then all analyzed on individual basis for light and dark tones.
