Grab some white paper and put it in front of the cam, frame it in such a manner it is all white and then use full auto to take a shot. Then do the same with a black paper.You'll notice the cam nor meter are concerned about the accurate representation of reality when it comes to light, they expose in such a manner your middle tones have a certain "brightness".I shoot at night a lot, if I would use full auto, those shots at first sight would be indistinguishable from daylight shots.Once you know how the cam meters and why, you can easily compensate to push it into the direction you want.</blockquote>
