Hi Sam,
No, it's not, but I can see how it could be taken that way. Rich had a question about getting the exposure meter to work when recording. He was not getting the exposure meter to function while recording. The exposure meter does work while recording with all of my lenses, old and new. However, the exposure meter does not work properly with vintage manual focus lenses. |

wow, this cam is completely useless IMO then. so much for sticking a grey card in front of your lens and taking a meter reading then. this is incredible! thanks for posting this problem and sorry that it's at your expense, LOL! I know you saved me a frustrating purchase experience.

Can anyone tell me if the monitor out on the 60D is HD or is it the same as in the T2i - sd?

hey Mark, got another Q...why couldn't you just set exp comp to -2 and then meter accordingly?

Hi Aaron,
That's a good idea. I will give it a try. |

I would be curious to know WHAT metering is being used? I'd imagine when a Canon EFS lens is attached, the camera is likely set to multi-segment metering which is going to be excellent for most scenes. And when attaching a manual focus lens, I'd imagine since the camera can't talk to the lens, it's defaulted to center weighted or spot. This will certainly give very different results.

If you hold a gray card directly in front of the lens so it covers edge to edge, then it won't matter what meter mode the cam is using (which you already know)....so I'd like Mark to do just that after setting exp comp to -2 and then let us know if a -0- meter reading is now properly exposed using manual, adapted lenses...
then pull the batt and see if the cam's exp comp stays at -2 (so you don't have to remember to keep setting it after powering down or replacing batteries)... |
