What metering mode should the studio use?

This question has to be said twice now. The key is to see what studio you use. Continuous light source or flash light source, we all know that e-commerce in all ages takes photos of products with continuous light.

Continuous light source, that is, constant light, when it is used as the light source of the studio, the metering method depends on the situation. For example, it is more appropriate to measure the skin by counting people; Still life products have a large area, and the overall contrast is too great after exposure. You can choose photometric evaluation, and then adjust exposure compensation according to brightness contrast.

As the light source of the studio, the flash has nothing to do with the metering mode of the camera. In the past, photographers often used an external exposure meter to measure the flash at that moment, while the built-in exposure meter in the camera can only measure the brightness of the subject before the flash, and feedback the results to the exposure meter, which is meaningless. I'm sure you don't have an external exposure meter, and it doesn't matter. In studio photography, try to adjust ISO 100, shutter1125 and aperture F8. If the exposure is insufficient, turn up the aperture, otherwise it will shrink. You can also control the flash by adjusting its power output.
