Hi, sorry to appear quite dim but I am now more confussed than ever. Are you saying I need to use a light meter rather than the cameras own system?

From the photos I took on Saturday I found the camera had hiked the ISO upto 1600 because of the dim light. I would have preffered to have used a lower ISO setting and have less noise. Would it have been better to have used a light meter under these conditions?

While I found the articles by Don & Adey helpful to some extent, i still found it confussing.

Looking at the pictures of the light meters i immediately thought it all looks rather complicated!

This learning curve seems to get steeper all the time.
