[QUOTE="LensWork, post: 35352, member: 1283"] I agree with the others, your issue is most likely related to spot metering. Unless you understand The Zone System, improper use of spot metering can result in severely under/over exposed images . Stick with matrix metering and read Ansel Adams' book [I]The Negative[/I] before attempting to use spot metering. Although the techniques of the Zone System were formulated over 70 years ago, the same principles can be applied with today's digital cameras. Digital imaging sensors are much akin to shooting transparency (slide) film in that they have very little exposure latitude (as compared to print film), and that slight underexposure is better than overexposure (the opposite of print film).
