Everybody learn to chimp and use your histograms if you want to get good exposures...learn the light and EV too...you do not have to rely on your camera to decide for you...it is not easy but it is not hard either you just have to practice it...you are smart enough to do it I promise and maybe even smarter than your camera even with it's high tech processor!  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
