[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 421785, member: 12496"] Right, plus the center is pretty large, and also is commonly typical of the subject anyway :) We should NOT imagine that Matrix is smart enough to find our subject. It's just a dumb computer chip without a clue. It sees some light, with no idea what it is or what it means. Matrix is still center oriented, except it can be influenced by bright lights at frame edge. I've never found that to be an advantage. :) Use a fixed tripod, so the camera cannot move. Then take some various test pictures in both Center and Matrix modes. There won't be much difference, but on those with reduced Matrix exposure, locate the bright edge effects (sky, etc) that caused it. [/QUOTE]
