[QUOTE="aroy, post: 491714, member: 16090"] No matter what metering mode you use, you will always have exposure problems - over exposed or under exposed regions. The reason is the Dynamic range of the scene. What you see in jpeg or on the screen is 8 bit data, while the camera RAW provides 14 bits. Normal mapping between the 14 bit input and 8 bit output just takes the 8 bits, so there are either blown highlights, or dark shadows regions. What you have to do to get all areas visible, is . Use the "Spot Meter" and meter the brightest region . Use RAW software to "recover shadows" What that does is to map the 14 bit data to 8 bits using different curves depending on how much shadow you want to recover (no linear mapping). [/QUOTE]
