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?
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:

Jake, could you please post more detailed info from those shots? It would be interesting to see it. I am curious to see them in their original size, too. I guess they are not that different from each other. I mean, look at the shadows on both pictures. They are almost equally lit. IMO the most noticeable differences are color saturation and contrast. The second one is way more saturated than the first one and also lacks some contrast.
Here's one more night shot from mine (this time resized). It was taken with the mixed Cybershot Xp + DM 3.5:

Hi Vit, I put the combination Xperience Cybershot 4.1 and DM 3.5 to my C905 with the English language, a question I can help with how to use manual settings options (2) and manual settings (1)? I see several new and nose how to use them or control them such as the ISO control, white balance, Part 2 and Part 1 (focus, contrast, saturation, effects), could guide me a bit? thanks

in the path ifs/settings/camera/ i find two cameras files cammera0.dat and cammera2.dat. shld i delete cammera2.dat? so that I can paste frm dm 3.5 zip the cammera0.dat file.
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 moved DM3.5 camdriver0.dat to my phone using A2 uploader. I switched off the phone and switched on.. i couldnt c any changes in the camera menu. did do smething wrong
?

@ toxicneo
You need to copy the en.lng file to TPA/PRESET/SYSTEM/LANGUAGE so they say, but it still made no difference to the menus for me.

I did notice as soon as you edit a .lng file with LNG_Editor_0.0.1.3 it becomes unreadable. The languge is then not seen on the phones language menu.
