ABSTRACT

Photographers have dealt with all the various settings that are required to get a properly exposed, focused, and framed shot, let's investigate some of the really great features that are available to us with most digital single-lens reflex cameras. Meter priority settings aren't really anything terribly new, as they have been available on film cameras for many decades. However, in conjunction with auto-bracketing, they are a very powerful tool. Metering modes usually come in at least four variations, including aperture priority, shutter priority, manual, and program modes. Auto-bracketing is the practice of taking multiple exposures of a single "setup" during a photo-call to ensure that Photographer have a selection of exposures to choose from when selecting photographs for their portfolio. Auto-bracketing is one of the great new features available to photographers in the digital age. The Exposure value compensation function allows the user to semi-permanently alter the response of the camera's light meter.
