All camera meters try to make some part of the frame appear as a midtone, right between very light and very dark. Evaluative metering divides the frame up into segments, compares the readings in each section, and decides on an appropriate pattern for determining exposure. Centerweighted takes into account all the light, but puts a heavy emphasis on the middle of the frame. Spotmetering uses a small percentage of the frame, often less than 5 percent and typically in the center, though some cameras let you link it to the active AF point. While evaluative is best for most situations, centerweighted works well for subjects such as group portraits. For the most control, use spotmetering to choose the midtone.

Then upload your best shots to our Flickr page. See the whole gallery here TECH SUPPORT CMOS vs CCD? Q. I shoot mostly for 4x6-inch prints, and very few times will I shoot for anything bigger than 8x10. I am looking to upgrade my camera for better quality. Is a CMOS sensor better than CCD for a recreational shooter? A. Without getting into a discussion of the relative merits of CMOS and CCD sensors (and, at a certain level, that discussion becomes essentially a religious dispute), we’ll say that for this degree of enlargement the choice of sensor type is immaterial. A 10-megapixel sensor of either type will be more than adequate. Rather, look at the camera’s actual performance in resolution, color accuracy, and noise control—ratings you can find in our Buying Guide.
