wstam Posted March 30, 2013 Share #1 Posted March 30, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi, I have a question on the exposure metering setting on M240. In the MENU, Light Metering Mode has Classic and Advanced. However, on the SET (picture parameters menu), there is Exposure Metering which has Spot, Center-weighted and Multi-field? Are both set the same thing? What if I set Classic in Light Metering Mode but Multi-filed in Exposure Metering? I think these are the factory setting. From those who have the new M for days/weeks, what are your experiences in these setting? What are your recommendation? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fgcm Posted March 30, 2013 Share #2 Posted March 30, 2013 In Menu, classic means that meter works reading light reflected on the shutter as in M9 and previous models. If you set 'advanced', light is metered on the sensor (shutter open) as in live view mode. The choice in SET menu allows you to chose among the three modes when in live view or in Advanced. So: if you set classic, the options in SET work only in live view If you set advanced, the options in SET work always, but shutter is open when metering, as in live view. I hope my summary is clear.

Fgcm Posted March 30, 2013 Share #3 Posted March 30, 2013 Recommendation: I prefer classic, but this because I'm a costumed to this method since film age I'm sure I will appreciate new options in the future Franco Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wstam Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share #4 Posted March 30, 2013 Franco, that's very clear. And now it make sense. Thanks a lot. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitalfx Posted April 3, 2013 Share #5 Posted April 3, 2013 Why is Advanced metering so slow? I can shoot rapidly in classic mode, but have a 2+ sec delay in advanced mode. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenPatterson Posted April 3, 2013 Share #6 Posted April 3, 2013 Why is Advanced metering so slow? I can shoot rapidly in classic mode, but have a 2+ sec delay in advanced mode. Because in Advanced mode the shutter has to cycle from open (for metering) to closed and then to open again for the exposure. In Classic the shutter is closed and ready to fire, with metering off the front of the curtain (blades). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
