Most modern cameras have a Program "SHIFT" dial where you get inverse changes in aperture/shutter-speed. (I don't know if D90 has that.) Why Auto-ISO ???   I set mine to what I consider lowest ...

That is confusing to a beginner because the net effect is indeed virtually the same. You use a higher ISO film in lower light ... and you usually need/use a higher ISO setting in lower light. That ...

I think the P-900 is the current super-zoom king w/ 2000mm-EFL. But that camera does have some limitations, like no RAW. The FZ-82 is indeed cheaper but it is not a "Leica" lens as on the ...

ALL cameras are compromises ... Larger sensors, (FF & APS), have potentially best IQ, (and higher ISO capability for night/low-light shooting). But larger sensor cameras are larger/heavier and more ...

I prefer a FISHING VEST.  Fits tight, can run or climb with it easier. Easier to get individual items in separate pockets.

Have to give you a +1 for that one ... well said ...

No ... if you are taking your reading from a "white" subject, the reading should indicate, (+1/2/3), over-exposed. Thus you would "dial-in" +1/2/3 and then "0" your indicator -- or shoot any ...

No, there really could be two correct answers the test-writer intended. The "question" does not suggest he even has a gray card, so his "subject" may be all that is available to him. So #1 could be ...

Oh now you are getting nasty ... (but it works for me) ... LOL

YES ... and THEN, (to fully understand "reflectivity"), he needs to go out, (into the wide-wide world), and point his (spot) meter at various white and black subjects and see for himself exactly ...

Probably at least +2, (and maybe even +3), depending on the actual "whiteness/reflectance" of the (white) paper.

I specifically did not use your "name" because I did not mean it as a "personal" attack. And I apologize for the extent it may have been/seen as personal. I simply felt it was not correct that they ...

I basically agree with the above, but I could not vote for #1 as the answer because if the (entire) image was white, I suggest +1 is probably NOT going to be high enough, (as you mentioned above). ...

I cannot agree with that. No matter how good/great the metering system is, it simply cannot know that it is a reflective "white" scene, (of a white cat subject). Even matrix is not always smart ...

The same person that got the 14 thumbs-up later said this: ""A grey card is used for color correcting under different light and not for exposure metering .

Yep ... he made this statement: "A grey card is used for color correcting under different light and not for exposure metering. So there was not much "color" correcting back in B&W days ... so then ...

Yes ,,, further research seems to confirm your numbers above. But still way-way-way below $1000 originally stated.

(1) Good Point --- (unfortunately true) !!!

The manufacturing costs of iPhone is under $50.

I don't think Nikon is capable, (their only MirrorLess CoolPix are terrible). Canon seems to be trying, (M), but are not close to Sony/Fuji/Olympus/Panasonic.
