LIGHTMETERS 302 METERS I N T R O D U C T I O N Lightmeters Microchip The majority of cameras have built-in exposure meters, and yet many people who have such cameras feel the need for separate exposure meters. Built-in exposure meters are almost exclusively limited to reading the light reflected. In some instances the resulting photograph may be satisfactory. But very frequently this “Average” light measurement is inappropriate.
