Hi Jim, The 1v uses evaluative, centre-weighted, partial, or spot metering. For the purposes of this test I had the camera in Manual mode and read the scale in the viewfinder to set exposure. From memory I think it uses evaluative metering while in M, it could be centre-weighted though. I generally do use either evaluative or spot metering for most of my work and add exp. comp. as I see fit. I think using a handheld meter effectively needs some time and research spent on it. I didn't find it hard to use but am a little puzzled by some of the results, like overexposing the backlit subject when the reflective meter didn't ? I'm too busy stressing over digital storage issues to go back to worring about exposure metering.
