get a new camera what a pain

[felipealvarez1982]

this is for FILM, not DIGITAL

@felipealvarez1982 You can meter like this for both, format doesn't matter.

@felipealvarez1982 if you think this is just for film cameras just because he used one in the demo... you've completely missed the point of what he's trying to teach you! A film camera has ISO, shutter speed and aperture, a DSLR has.... you guessed it.... ISO, shutter speed and aperture!! No difference.

how if the camera doesn't have shutter speed? such as canonet,

[chrisongtj86]

@MrsSasa1603 You can change the shutter speed on the Canonet, it's the ring on the lens. Look for the blue "30", that's 1/30s shutter speed.

This is soooo useful for me! I use classical camera and i use tables to set all the parameters. I always get confused when i change my film from iso100 to iso400(for example), my shots usually are overexposed. This method gives me good starting point. Thanks! And the tip about edges of the shadows is also useful.
