[QUOTE="nickt, post: 703951, member: 4923"] Jake mentioned using spot or center weighted metering. It takes me a couple seconds to change metering modes and I am guaranteed to forget to set it back to matrix. What I did on my d7200 is to program the pv and fn buttons on the front of the camera for spot and center weighted metering. So when that totally white or totally black or back lit bird shows up, I can quickly and temporarily change my metering for the one shot. For the most part, I don't need to play with metering, but its the best use I have for those two front buttons. I do use use a little exposure comp here and there. Shooting raw, I'm usually good to reduce the highlights and raise the blacks in LR. You can check for blown highlights in image review in camera so you can make sure whatever method you use, its working for you. [/QUOTE]
