Controlling your camera's settings manually--whether you are using a film camera or a digital camera--provides a vastly greater degree of control over the photographic process and allows you to customize your settings to suit the conditions and the desired effect. Successful light metering depends on achieving a balance between two different camera controls: the shutter speed and the aperture opening. With a bit of practice, you'll soon be able to quickly meter for any condition, using these simple controls.

Check that your light meter is turned on. Digital cameras will activate the meter automatically when they are switched to manual mode. Some film cameras will require the meter to be turned on via manual switch.
2Aim your camera at the desired subject and note the light meter reading.
3Increase a low light meter reading by opening the aperture wider. F-stop numbers (located on the base of the lens) are inversely proportional to aperture size: the lower the F-stop, the larger the aperture. You may also increase the light by selecting a slower shutter speed.
4Decrease a high light meter reading by selecting a smaller aperture size (higher F-stop number) or a faster shutter speed.
5Shoot stationary objects at a low shutter speed (but no lower than 1/60 second). This will allow for a smaller aperture opening, creating a deeper depth of field.
6Shoot moving objects at a higher shutter speed, allowing the camera to freeze the subject's motion without blurring the image. In low-light conditions, you may need to compensate with a larger aperture size, so adjust the focus carefully: the depth of field will be relatively shallow with a large aperture size.
