==Determining exposure== [[File:Long exposure at the fair.jpg|thumb|A fair ride taken with a 1/3 s exposure]] The [[Zone System]] is another method of determining exposure and development combinations to achieve a greater tonality range over conventional methods by varying the contrast of the film to fit the print contrast capability. Digital cameras can achieve similar results ([[high-dynamic-range imaging|high dynamic range]]) by combining several different exposures (varying shutter or diaphragm) made in quick succession. Today, most cameras automatically determine the correct exposure at the time of taking a photograph by using a built-in [[light meter]], or multiple point meters interpreted by a built-in computer, see [[metering mode]]. Negative and print film tends to bias for exposing for the shadow areas (film dislikes being starved of light), with digital favouring exposure for highlights. See latitude below.
