Hi folks,

Please forgive my noob question but I am learning about exposure. I understand the zone system and how to place areas on zones. I know there are zones 0-9. What I don't understand is, when looking at my spot meter, I have EV, or exposure value, increments. There doesn't seem to be a limit to the number of EV values and I can't understand how EV and zone values correlate or how to use them.

Please could you shed some light on this?

Thanks!

Yes, it makes sense! Thanks for clarifying it for me!

Where you have to be careful, is if you do not have a 180° shutter on the camera.

Can you explain this please? What is the problem with a 180 degree shutter?
