What meter to use when taking backlight photos?

When shooting backlight, you need to use matrix metering. Matrix metering and evaluative metering are the same concept. They are all divided into 64 or 128 areas in the screen vertically and horizontally, and the average grayscale of 18% is considered to be the correct exposure, and the results of aperture and shutter speed are given.

Backlighting is a situation where the subject is exactly between the light source and the camera. This situation can easily result in the subject being underexposed. Under normal circumstances, photographers should try to avoid shooting objects under backlight conditions, but sometimes the special effects produced by backlighting can be regarded as an artistic photography technique.
