If you shoot with a digital camera, you've probably experienced the ease with which you can adjust the exposure of your shots. For example, if you take a shot in the Manual mode and the result on the LCD looks too dark, you can simply adjust your shutter speed or aperture settings to increase the exposure level and then take another shot. And by observing the Exposure Level Indicator as you shoot, you will get better at capturing a good exposure the first time (check out the lesson on this site entitled, "Getting The Best Possible Exposures, And Then Some" for a closer look at the Exposure Level Indicator).

However, there are inevitably those fleeting situations where you don't have the time to figure out the best Manual exposure settings and you need to get the shot off right away. How you set and operate your exposure meter will greatly affect the way your exposures, as well as how your compositions, will turn out.
This lesson examines how to shoot in the Spot-Metering mode to ensure optimal exposures.
