An Evaluation of Certain Techniques of using Exposure Meters

Five methods of measuring some aspect of scene luminance or illumination have been used in connection with photographing sixteen sunlit, outdoor scenes. An exposure series was made for each scene on two motion-picture negative films. By comparing the exposures which yielded optimum print quality with those indicated by the five different exposure-meter techniques, each technique was evaluated, and the consistency with which high-quality results could be obtained was determined.
