[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 133230, member: 13090"] And that's your answer. As Dave already said, "Spot Metering" will expose your chosen "spot" perfectly but nothing else in your frame will be considered when calculating the [I]overall exposure [/I]for the entire frame. This being the case, the more tonal difference, or contrast, there is in the shot (dog vs. everything else), the more extreme your over/under exposure is going to be. In short, "Spot Metering" on white dogs and black dogs is always going to give you extreme under/over exposure because you are *metering* on an extreme "spot" of contrast to the exclusion of everything else in frame that would normally balance things out. You would be better served by using the Matrix Metering setting. [/QUOTE]
