What is your normal exposure metering method?

The main problem, not only with Foveon sensors, is blown highlights, like Clementine "once lost and gone forever" and to be avoided at all costs, unlessthey add to the intention of the image.

Thank you, George.

I just use P and turn the dial to the Aperture and Shutter I want.  I point the camera to include more or less sky, hold down the shutter, reframe, and take the picture.  I often take a few until I am happy with it.

I use my incident meter when shooting product pictures in my little cyc for Ebay or Craigslist.

Thanks for the link, I remember that thread and have since bought a DP2M.

You said: "At ISO 200 the DPm files have 2 stops of exposure latitude."

Does that mean that a "DPm" has 1 stop of exposure latitude at ISO 100?

Just curious, because I've been studying exposure lately ...

I have not used ISO 100 on the DPms very much but there is definitely less and 1 stop is probably close.  I seem to remember when using the SD14 that at ISO100 it had about 0.7 stop headroom and at ISO50 there was none.  joe

Thanks, Joe. Sounds like "headroom" in this case is based on highlight recovery from an average scene.
