Photometric method of photography

Nowadays, cameras have their own photometry, which can meet the general requirements and usually do not need manual measurement. But some demanding occasions, such as outdoor wedding photography, need to be measured with an exposure meter.

It's just camera metering, which is usually divided into three types: spot metering-based on the light intensity of a certain point; Partial photometry-based on the average light intensity of a certain area; Global metering-based on the average light intensity of all photos taken.

Each has a different purpose. In addition, exposure compensation is needed as needed, especially in the case of backlight.
