Which metering mode to use
« on: September 03, 2009, 05:55:29 PM »
Just wondered if any of you have favourite Metering mode for shooting aircraft shots-I tend to use Spot or Partial metering mostly.

I use a Canon DSLR.

On my old Canon T90 I would have used spot metering but my 400D doesn't have that luxury so I tend to use either the partial or the centre weighted.
