I have an Olympus OM4 35 mm camera which has a spot meter, the capability of multi-spot metering (up to 8), and highlight and shadow buttons which can be used in conjunction with the spot meter to make blacks BLACK (not dark grey) and whites WHITE (not lite grey). So, does this change anything in regards to the determination of optimum exposure times, Gamma corrections (WHAT ARE THESE ANYWAY??) and the other parameters associated with photographing computer screens?? Any comments would be appreciated. Scott Sutherland sutherla@qtp.ufl.edu Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
