[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 421196, member: 6277"] Spot can really cause some major problems depending on the spot you pick. Pick a white spot and it will try to make it 18% grey so the rest of the photo will be underexposed. Pick a black spot and everything will be overexposed. Matrix can cause problems also. Family in the nice shade and you have a bright sky. Matrix will take into account the bright sky and will underexpose the family in the shade. Center-Weighted is a good all-around mode since it is going to expose for the area that you are really shooting, The family in the shade. There are times where the other two modes are needed but Center-Weighted is the one you should default to most of the time. [/QUOTE]
