[QUOTE="nickt, post: 552209, member: 4923"] You can go larger on the aperture. Avoid wide open if you can, but don't fear going wide open if light is low. Some lenses are less sharp wide open, but still acceptable. You will get to know the sweet spot of your lens. Use exposure comp if you know you need it. The matrix metering gets a lot of things right. A white car in the sun might be good reason to use some (-1) neg exp comp. You could probably live with leaving the -1 comp at the track if the sun is bright on the cars. Its not a routine thing though to walk around with exposure comp dialed in. On your shot above, I might have gone down to f8, up 2 notches on the shutter speed and iso 200. I think that works out to the same exposure. You don't need to think too hard about this. Shutter or aperture priority with auto iso will figure it out for you. There are plenty of threads here with suggestions for tweaking up your in-camera jpg settings for a little more sharpness.
