Would hate for you to miss important photos by experimenting with modes you are not comfortable with. Thanks Richard Hello Jean,

Had a very white chair against my garden. No mode improved the white. Then, with today's overcast sky, I tried scenery. Once again, the sky did not improve. Can you suggest the best mode for me, as I will be going to Europe the 23rd...and want to have the best advantage. This will be scenery, in general. Thanks!

I seem to recall you have the Canon S3. Correct? If so your camera supports the following metering modes: • Evaluative • Center-weighted average • Spot (center or linked to focusing frame) I believe if you go to the "spot AE point" section in the menu you can then choose the type of metering you want to use. Hope this helps. Jean,

I am lost already! I cannot figure out how to change my camera's metering modes. I seem to leave it on "spot AE point". ...just want you to know we are trying to do your lessons :~)) Thanks! Jean Richard,
