How to Use the D300 Spot Meter ~ Enhance Photography Skill

There are different ways to measure the exposure required in order to take a picture, with each way being known as a meter. The Nikon D300 offers three different types of meters. The spot meter, in particular, works by taking a light reading from one specific part of the view your camera has; it enables an accurate reading of a subject.

Instructions

Set the AE-L AF-L dial on the back of the SLR to the bottom setting to enter Spot mode.

Set the mode on the Camera Mode dial to "Manual" or "M."

Focus the camera lens on the subject to be photographed.

Press "menu" on your camera, then choose the pencil icon. Use the custom exposure setting to dial the exposure length according to the tone of the subject for an exposure table. Lighter tone subjects should have longer exposure settings, while darker subjects should be faster.

Press the shutter button on top of your camera to take the picture.
