OK, so what's the big deal with matrix metering? How is measuring 16 exposures in 16 zones all over the frame any different from (or better than) simple average metering of the entire screen?
I ask this as an ol' manual focus film dinosaur, used to using center- weighted metering all the time "back in the old days", but who now has a DS and is finally getting around to reading about such things in the manual (although changing the DS from matrix to center-weighted metering was one of the first things I did when getting it.)
