The easiest way is to just set your metering to spot meter rather than area, and then meter the spot you want with a single focus point. Then if that isn't the spot you want to focus on, just AE lock the exposure with the AE lock button.. and then focus on what you want.

Or, just shoot manual.





Boost Lee, Your car was what helped convince me to get an MB Z. I love the way it looks, simple and clean. Looking at it right away you may not realize its modified [to the untrained eye] until you really start to pay attention. That is the kind of car that I like... because it all flows and looks like it is meant to be there.
