Can someone give good how-to tips on:
- Spot Metering
- Normal Metering
Like when should we use which and under what condition? I remember previously there was a few posts on this, maybe can someone help to share some tips?
When to use spot metering?
ex. you are shooting a person in front of a bright light like the sun
or if you are shooting something in front of bright light

What a great addition to the existing driver. I'll play with it. btw, the language file kinda messed up my phone. After upload yours, the english option did not show anymore. Can't find in the setting menu either. Is it the same language file as the DM 3.5 manual?
Hello, fe1ixs! Thanks for your appreciation! Well, you're right, I provided the wrong file, sorry... I've edited the link to provide the right one.

Thanks for your appreciation, pal! I am also not keen on shooting only pics of flowers... I guess we've got too many of them at this thread.
As for the night pics, the basic to take shots like that is select the Twilight Landscape mode and lean the phone against a steady surface, like a table, a wall, or even a glass of beer! LOL... I also use the self timer function to provide the maximum steadiness for the phone. I do not use the built in Image Stab because it's a digital one, not optical. The second mixed driver I provided is the best one for taking slow shutter shots. You can create great effects by changing color tones!
Here you've got megaupload links for drivers:

No, no! Do not delete camera2.dat. That's the driver for the front camera. You should only replace the original camera0.dat with the new one. Just remember to use the command "read" before doing that, in order to backup your original driver.

I'm gonna say what I know from my experiences with them:
Normal metering measures the whole scene and sets the shutter speed and ISO accordingly. If there are highly bright areas and highly dark areas at the same picture, using normal metering may, for instance, priorize only the highlights and then you finish with images whithin those dark areas almost undistinguishable from each other. That would lead you to change EV settings manually, in order to get the exposure right.
On the other hand, using Spot metering may allow you to lock the exposure on those dark areas to priorize them, without having to ajust EV settings manually.
The thing is that sometimes the object on which you plan to lock the exposure may be far from the object you intend to focus on, so the latter ends up blurred. In that case I see no other way but use Normal metering and adjust manually the EV compensation (or in DM 3.5, ISO) settings.
Here it follows an example to illustrate that:
These first two were taken with Normal metering. Notice that no matter where I fix the focus (either at the front or at the rear of the mouse) the exposure settings are the same for both pics:
On the other hand, with Spot metering, If I fix the focus at the front I get one setting for exposure, while for the rear I get another:

@Vit
thanks for the update language file. What is the best setting for daylight shot? you mention about twilight landscape for night shot, but I haven't seen tips for daylight. I'm still confuse, should I use auto scene or set one of the scene such as landscape/portrait... when use auto I noticed lot of noise on the pics even with the lowest ISO setting ...

I use to shoot on auto mode for daylight, without changing ISO settings. As I wrote before, the majority of daylight shots comes out @ ISO 64, which (at least to me) provides very pleasant noise levels. You should try to change EV settings and changing from normal to spot metering, always trying to get the best exposure to the shot. Hope that helps.
