Calibrating your meter to the CCD chip in your Digital Camera
How do you know if your ccd chip provides the sensitivity that is suggested when setting the ASA on the camera?

Not without testing. The following is a procedure that enables you to exactly match the sensitivity of your chip to the exposure meter you are using.
And, if your not using an external exposure meter for flash or existing light......go back to film...please!
The extremely short exposure latitude of digital capture makes it of the most importance to use a quality meter when calculating proper exposures and lighting ratios.

To adjust your hand held meter to your digital camera, follow the following instructions.
