Photographing portraits is often used backlighting, in order not to make the highlights overexposed, the use of spot metering, metering point in the center of the face position. Because, this is in the brightest and darkest point of the transition zone (usually called gray area), focus constantly half-pressing the shutter to ensure clarity, and I shoot portraits from the flash fill light, because I think that in backlight conditions such as flash fill light will cause the characters flat trigger and no sense of three-dimensionality! When shooting according to the light conditions appropriate increase or decrease in exposure compensation to achieve the best shooting results!
Most digital cameras have a bit of a metering mode, the metering range is small, and it is not easy to use it to shoot directly, so I only use it for metering operations.
Metering operation
1, start the operation of the metering system and start the viewfinder instructions are the same, gently press the shutter (that is, the shutter's half-stop position, press a can, do not have to keep, if you keep it will start the focusing system, and metering does not need to focus), this time, the viewfinder inside the shutter, aperture, number of photos and other instructions, and at the same time, the metering system has been started, the default 6 seconds (you can set up aperture), and the camera will start the metering system, the shutter, aperture and the number of photos. Default 6 seconds (you can set me at 6 seconds) metering is closed, the viewfinder indicator is also closed at the same time. Similarly, we can judge whether the metering system is on or off from whether the viewfinder indicator is on or off.
2, during the metering system is on (half-pressed after not re-half-pressed for a period of time), you can lock the exposure at any time through the ae; you can also do other operations directly during the metering system is on (note that, as most people say, do not need to half-press the shutter all the time before locking the exposure), the sign of the lock is in the viewfinder indicator appears ? *The lock symbol appears in the viewfinder display. symbol in the viewfinder display. But note that when the mode dial in the gear, in addition to B-speed, X-speed can not lock the exposure, other gear can be (guess what happens after locking the exposure in the M-speed? Oh M becomes P, aperture shutter linkage). To be more direct, after you measure the light, the metering system is on during the period (6 seconds) within the shooting mode dial to M, M data is just measured data (convenient, right). You can then increase or decrease the exposure (by moving the aperture value or shutter value) in M to change the EV value of the exposure. You can use the metering mode lever to select multi-zone, central focus and spot metering modes, whichever metering mode is based on the center of the viewfinder as the metering center point.
3, spot metering is a good way to ensure that the main parts of the exposure is correct, such as portrait face exposure. Correct a friend's statement, point metering does not have to be close to the face, no point metering mode of the machine only need to do so, as long as the center point of the portrait of the face lock exposure can be, this is the benefit of point metering, of course, metering target is too small to consider closer to some lock exposure to obtain the correct exposure value.
4, after locking the exposure (M-speed), you can focus? Composition? Shooting. Usually I prefer to use the character's eyes to focus (focus constantly half-press the shutter to ensure clarity)? Compose (keep half-pressing the shutter)? I often only use single-point center focus mode, and with multi-point focus mode you can't be sure where it's actually focusing.
5. Careful friends can see, in the shooting of portraits you seem to use is the M-speed, right, shooting portraits metering point must be that you want that point, I introduced above is only the use of digital camera metering (spot metering), how to quickly turn to the M method after the measurement. It's much more convenient than what's described in the textbook (memorize the data after measurement, go to M and then put the measured data...). Much more convenient!
6. If you don't do this, shoot directly with spot metering, focus point (center) metered spot (center). To the eye (Han) is black, the exposure will be over! Now we are here first metered (face) to M-speed, metering in M-speed has been locked, and then focus and then composition and metering has nothing to do. We are using the face of the metering, the eyes of the focus, each take what you want, easy to take good pictures.
Note: The above method applies to Nikon cameras. Canon cameras only keep the data of the last manual setting when switching to M-stop. However, Canon cameras have the ability to lock the exposure as long as you press the ? *? , the exposure is locked and you can focus? Composition The camera will be able to focus, compose, and shoot.

Nikon's product controversy
The Nikon D600 camera, which costs tens of thousands of dollars, has been found by users to produce photos with many black spots. After repeated repairs, the black spots are still there. The lawyer questioned, this is simply a product defect! However, Nikon repeatedly refused to return the camera, put the blame on the haze, and even asked users to take photos with the lens not facing up. But in the U.S., consumers are able to just get a new model for free.
March 15, 2014, Nikon D600 problem was exposed an hour after the product in the Jingdong Mall, Tmall has been overnight fire off the shelves, while Suning Ebay changed to out-of-stock status.
Not only in China, many Nikon D600 users in Europe and the United States also suffered the same black dot problem. However, some U.S. consumers have already been offered a free replacement of their D600 with a D610. But Nikon hasn't given a clear standard for which consumers are eligible for this upgrade.
Following developments
In response to the 2014 CCTV 315 Gala's exposure of the ? Black Spot Gate? , Nikon China told Xinmin Net reporter on the afternoon of March 16, 2014 that it is not yet possible to determine whether the camera has quality problems. However, the Shanghai Municipal Administration for Industry and Commerce has asked Nikon to take down the D600 DSLR camera nationwide.
At Nikon Imaging Instruments Sales (China) Co., Ltd. on Xizang Middle Road, the company's staff has already returned to work at the end of the double holiday in advance, and the company's reception desk phone is ringing constantly.
The D600 camera black spots and gray, Nikon China marketing headquarters, senior manager Hu Jiarong said, this is due to the construction of the SLR camera and individual differences caused by the head office in Tokyo has been in contact, it is not yet possible to determine whether the quality of the problem is simple.
Previously, when explaining the black spots to consumers, staff at some of Nikon's authorized service stations attributed them to ? hazy weather? , to which Hu Jiarong said that these remarks do not represent the company's point of view, and that there is no causal relationship between the black spots and the environment.
The Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Industry and Commerce is working on the ? Black spot door? The Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Industry and Commerce is investigating the black spot issue and has asked Nikon China to take measures to remove the D600 from the shelves nationwide. The reporter also confirmed this information from Nikon China. The reporter was informed by the industry and commerce department that, after preliminary understanding, Nikon D600 cameras have been sold 48,000 units in mainland China, and since October 2013, 300?400 Nikon D600 maintenance and repair orders have been received nationwide every month, of which 70%?80% involve parts repair and replacement.
For existing D600 Chinese users, Hu Jiarong said that the black spot problem can be solved by cleaning and shutter parts exchange, and if it can not be completely solved, it will be based on the national? Three packages? regulations, free of charge for users to replace the same type of camera, and to ensure that similar problems do not occur.
