Robert Machado | Light Metering Basics: What is a spot meter? @robchado | Uploaded December 2018 | Updated October 2024, 14 hours ago.
This scene is an excerpt from a Light Metering Video: youtube.com/watch?v=8deKnhe_9vA
Spot meters read reflectance and try to expose to middle gray. In this video, I'll cover how the spot meter works and how I use it to calibrate my camera/meter's perception of middle gray.
