[QUOTE="yauman, post: 414684, member: 15418"] Your camera is doing exactly what it is designed to do and from the images you posted, it's doing it perfectly well. Here's the deal about "proper" exposure - and it's not just cameras in auto/semi mode but rather with ALL PHOTOGRAPHY in general. So, here's the rule you must remember - ie the 18% (or in digital sensors the 12%) rule of "proper exposure." When "properly" exposed, if you take a picture of a White Cat, it should look like a Grey Cat. When "properly" exposed, if you take a picture of a Black Cat, it should look like a Grey Cat. Thus ends the lesson. Keep that in mind and you'll appreciate how the light meter is designed and what it's designed to do! The rest is up to you the photographer - and that's the art of the practice!!! (Now you understand why it's such a challenge for wedding photographers - expose for the bride"s white gown or the groom's black tux?) Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
