I noticed today while shooting a portrait that if I switch the orientation of my camera from portrait to landscape the metering changes. The light falling on the subject has not changed and I'm focusing on the exact same spot but it will change by 1/3 to 2/3 or more. Is this normal?

I would say yes this is normal. When in vertical and in multi meter mode you are picking up different areas of the scene as opposed to horizontal. More grass, less sky or portraits more clothes, and less back ground. Your histogram probably changes. The camera is trying to properly expose all areas of your photo so it's dependent on what fills the frame. If you spot meter in one orientation and then spot meter the same spot in the other orientation the you should have same exposure values.

I never shoot in auto anything when I can. Auto-mode just leads to inconsistency in your lighting. The EVF has made this soooo easy. I also start of with a light meter just to make [emoji817] sure the camera is not lying. Once the lighting stays the same u r set to go with so much more amazing shots

The point about the histogram is a good one.  If the histogram changes when going from horizontal to vertical orientation, your AE will most likely change.  

 

I have experienced the same thing, but I know that when going from horizontal to vertical, the image in the view finder is not 100% the same, so naturally AE changes (sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse) ... just depends on what is in the metering area.

      Hello. Thankyou,now Is all more clear: I have take some time in your link. Let tell you. I has totaly forget this machine have "compress picture option" and not Only "compress lossless" anyway not change the experiment. RAW  and this last two format look like same result about Number of recording picture. Can tell all results in this: in raw you can make 17 pictures for second. Is wrong. Is about One single Press and wait buffer. Full 30/20/10/8 not change. After 17 Need Press again. You not can Press before "redgreen light recording Is on".   With preshot you can have 25  are more 7 pictures . The story change Only in jpg shot only. In jpg at 30 you have 30 picture but redgreen light off very Fast so you can shot very quicly. At 20 shot Is about start look like infinite shot. 60. So the best performance are this last One  about Speed and recording picture after camera working witout big limit. I want take a shot about Italy cyclet Just for passion. I think i Will use this last setting.  After Need check when battery not are full change and ambient temp.  Anyway my cam look like exactly specific about you link. Im Happy my cam working perfectly.

      I do not use Flickr, so I do not know what their BB code is. All I did was copy the second link you provided, (starting at https: and ending at  _k.jpg — leave off the [img] and [/img] tags) and pasted it into the message. After a moment, a message popped up asking if I wanted to paste it as the image or as a plain link. I did this twice, the first time I had it paste in as the image and the second time as a link. Nothing fancy or tricky.

      So do I just copy the BB code from flickr and paste it anywhere on the page like other forums or is there some other trick I need to perform to get it to post?

      All software is the latest between camera and app. All settings are correct on camera. I have both lossless and uncompressed RAW files on the card in the camera. I have been up and down every reddit thread to no avail and am losing my mind… I’m doing all of the right things. It even sees my camera. It just doesn’t create the “drive” for it (see attached image screenshot).  Please Help!
