Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / June 2005Canon Digital Rebel Metering Modes (300d)
Hi Folks, The users manual for this camera is almost useless! It says the camera has 3 metering modes but doesn't say how to change them! Someone needs to explain to Canon how to write a users manual! Now that I have ranted about the manual... Does anybody had an idea how to change the metering modes? Thanks in advance, roland > Hi Folks, > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Now that I have ranted about the manual... > Does anybody had an idea how to change the metering modes? You have very litte control yourself on a 300d. It's all explained on page 84 of the manual. * If you want partial: use a "Creative" zone and the <*> button * If you want centre-weighted: use <M> mode * If you want evaluative: use anything else This is also shown on the summary table on page 122.

Does the hacked firmware open up these options at all? Dave <snipped discussion of setting metering mode on 300d> > I found this in the manual as well.

It's been awhile since I've had my 300D but I think it did.

I could only find page 84 of the manual. It didn't say anything more then it had 3 modes. Maybe I have an older manual. This should at least help. roland |
