Hi,
I have a ZX-5N and was using a circular polarizer on a wide angle lens (28A)
this weekend at a antique car show in Springfield, Missouri. I took a lot
of pictures and hope they turn out well. I am just starting photography and
am really loving how much I am getting into it now. I am always on a look
out for pictures in my area now, Chicago area. Anyway, I digress, I have a
question. In a book I own, I believe a Kodak book on photograhy, it says
to increase up to a couple stops when using a circular polarizer. My
question is that I did a little test with and without the circular polarizer
on the lens. The meter on the camera did take into consideration when using
the circular polarizer on the lens and the meter provided about two more
stops vs. when the polarizer was off. I used the same scene to judge this.
Later, I also did this with various sites at the show and did the same
thing. Now I hope that I did not over exposure when I took a lot of
pictures manually over exposing from +.5 to 2 stops.
My question, long message to read to get to the question is this, do I have
to manually increase exposure when the circular polarizer is on the ZX-5N
camera or does the camera do this for you?
Thanks for the advise in advance,
Scott
