Hey,
might be a silly question, but I can't find a good solution. I bought a Nikon D800 (my first Nikon) and I'm wondering if there's a Pentax-like way of metering. I used my K5 in manual mode with spot metering almost entirely. This is what I did: I metered a surface with the "green button" (e.g. the fur of my black dog, grass, the sky, ...), altered the aperture or shutter speed to get the correct exposure (e.g. minus 1 1/2 to 2 EV for the dog) and then pressed the "star button" to switch aperture and shutter speed values very fast without messing around with the exposure values. This was so quick and reliable!
Is there a similar way of metering for the Nikon system? I really don't like to spin wheels in manual mode to get the correct exposure. It will just take too much time
Or is there maybe a good alternative to meter?
Thanks!
Ben
