Re: Sunny 16 Doesn’t seem to work with my T6

Just thought I'd try this as it was my "go to" starting point 50yrs back with manual film cameras.

I'm one stop underexposed, but I'm in the UK and it is the autumnal equinox so firstly even though the skies are clear there is nearly always haze and it is about 10am GMT so the sun is not at its highest.  Adjustments may be needed for the fact I'm in the Northern Hemisphere and maybe pollution from global warming adds half a stop!

I bet if I was in the desert at midday on a clear day it would work.

What does give me Sunny 16 is metering to the sky away from the sun.
