Tomorrow I was at small concert event. I am amateur, hobbyist and try make photo and short video of scene and musicians.
While process I saw, that exist problem with actor face highlights, because of scenic light scheme. Projectors light moving across scene, change it colors from red to white and highlight actors and musicians faces.
As amateur i am usually use wide metering and sometime central zone metering. But it doesn't work good tomorrows.
I am not pro and try quickly find solutions and improvise with my camera.
In multi metering mode:
Try switch on "Face priority on multi" - doesn't help
Try switch on "Focus point Link" - doesn't help
I don't use this modes before, so may be I just don't use it appropriately
Change metering mode to "highlights metering" - doesn't help.
Set mode to Central zone make things a little better, but zone was much wider than face.
So next step was set up Central spot metering mode.
Target actor face, press AEL, change composition and shot.
Now actors face is OK, but another scenic staff underexposed by at least 2 stops.
But I think, that it's better result, than photo with burning faces.
But, shoot like this is really hard, because projectors moving around scene and light scheme always change.
Also this algorithm not convenient for video shorts.
Now I think, how is better to do in this situation?
May be just set EV-2 and shoot em'all?
