Hello all. This is probably a thick question but I just want to make sure I'm not making an error: the light meter on my camera is about 2 stops out (if I exposed according to it everything would be overexposed) so if I "trick" it by setting the ISO value to two stops below (100 if I'm using 400-rated film) then I can still use it to expose by accurately. Presumably this will make no difference to the actual film/exposure on the film, as changing the ISO value on the dial doesn't do anything to the film itself - right? So I can merrily set my ISO dial to 100 when exposing HP5 (to trick the light meter) and thereby expose for what I know is 400 speed film. Correct?
