Thanks for the responses. I understand what Highlight weighted metering does.
I was wanting to know whether or not folks had tried it. If they liked it enough to use it. And what situations they found best for it.
Yes, adjusting exposure comp and bracketing can cover multiple exposures, however, for me that is not feasible when shooting wildlife and birds, unless they are being very still and cooperative.
I use a D500 so your situation may be different.
I am a hardcore practitioner of ETTR. It helps to reduce noise, even on high end cameras. Because of this, I generally have a + EV dialed in on my camera all the time. Sometimes it's +1, +2 or situation depending. I do this to bias the meter when I'm using manual settings but when shooting wildlife I often flick on the auto ISO so I can get the shutter and aperture I want, and use ISO to compensate for varying conditions. Get the shots back on the computer, dial back the exposure and then process accordingly.
You may wish to give that a shot.
