A quick question regarding AE metering...
I have a black dashboard and a white car, which makes the DC work hard on the exposure front. The way my cam is positioned, it shows a small amount of dash, followed by the bonnet (hood) then obviously the actual road ahead.
The cam is currently set with centre weighted metering and sometimes it seems over exposed. At a guess I think it’s because the centre of the frame is normally dark roads/trees etc which makes the white bonnet and sky too bright.
So, with that in mind, would it be better for me to have the AE metering in ‘full frame’ mode? I was thinking that it would then take my white bonnet into account...
