Some devices offer dedicated <strong>Aperture Auto<\/strong>, <strong>Shutter Auto<\/strong>, or <strong>Manual modes<\/strong>, which allow you to lock in specific camera settings and adjust your lighting accordingly. This is particularly useful when you need to maintain a consistent depth of field or motion blur across different shots.<\/p>\n<p>Look for meters that provide <strong>half-stop or third-stop resolution<\/strong>.
