many years ago nikon posted a survival report of someone lost who used the camera's meter to locate the sun on a heavily overcast day when the human eye couldn't do it alone. the meter was sensitive enough to indicate the brightest area of the sky. this allowed them to find south and thus know what direction to travel.
