For example , We have Black Horse subject, Does Dynax 7Xi shoot it grey % 18 ?
 
Yes, if the meter in the camera only covers the horse and does not take account of anything except the horse's black hide

All meters are designed to record about 18% grey

Was this not covered by the teacher in the class you attend ?

Yes. Only handheld meters in incident mode work differently.

incident meter , what is the other technology , can incident meter be made at home. My friend is working on a diy lightmeter , what is your advise to make it incident meter ?
 
what is your advise to make it incident meter ?
Don't. There are plenty of meters out there that work just fine. Making a meter involves the challenge of making it work well under various circumstances. Companies like Pentax, Seconic, etc. spent millions in R&D to figure out how to do this. Making a meter at home that's even close to the accuracy and dependability of the one inside your Dynax camera is virtually impossible.

The truth is that the meter in your camera is great; you just have to learn to use it.
