[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 317673, member: 14443"] As a person who shoots event outdoors a lot. I can tell you that the camera metering and flash metering is crap and has not advanced at all, even since back since I was using F5's. when youre shooting situation where there are dark objects with very bright backlight or even objects that are bright it will almost always underexpose. your best friend is the EC button. learn to use it. at times ive had to go from +2.3 stops to under -0.7. but like I said, the metering in the camera are just crap. when im shooting events outdoors, im constantly adjusting acording to the angle of the light, or if in shade (which usuely needs +) when theyre are a lot of bright and dark patches in the frame and they are small, it does it fine, but shoot two people in baclit situation where they are shot horizontal and tight, it will UE. I shoot matrix mostly, sometimes spot. just garbage in every way. shooting outdoors is much more difficult than indoors. if you can master that, indoors is easy peazy [/QUOTE]
