Likewise I find it baffling that someone has found a market for a pocket
guide to overriding the matrix meter of a specific brand of camera based on
color and image size of the subject (birds in this case).  I'd think that
using a spot meter and knowing what it's telling you would be quicker and
simpler - and would apply to many more situations than the pocket guide can.
