[QUOTE="hark, post: 560759, member: 13196"] You can underexpose the image using a lower ISO. If you are shooting RAW, there is more latitude when editing that may not be accessible if you shoot jpeg (you can recover [I]some[/I] highlights in RAW if they are blown that you quite often can't recover with jpeg). Underexposing will make the dark or shadowed areas even darker, and while editing, you run the risk of increasing noise if those dark areas are made brighter. My suggestion is to play around with different metering modes to see if that helps to get a better exposure especially if you are using matrix metering. [/QUOTE]
