[QUOTE="nickt, post: 669109, member: 4923"] Spot can work, but likely it will give you more trouble than you already have. If the spot falls on white clothing, you will get a darker picture. If it falls on dark clothing, you will get a light picture. Center weighted might help. I have one of my front buttons programed to switch me to spot metering. For a very selected few shots, I'll use. I would not leave it on full time. I would continue to use matrix and shoot raw. Keep an eye on your histograms. You should be able to quickly fix the raw shots you are not happy with. If you are not comfortable processing raw, shoot raw + jpg and then you can learn on the bad shots. [/QUOTE]
