[QUOTE="Don Kondra, post: 324508, member: 17688"] I can see where my post may have been confusing as it appears I wasn't clear on the use of "spot" metering with Center point focus. If your light is from the side or back then Spot Metering will give you the best results. Let the foreground/background fall where it may but the bird will be properly exposed. In your last example you should have used Center-weighted or Matrix. And you may want to take a meter reading with the camera, then you could have increased the aperture (lower number) or iso to maintain a minimum shutter speed of 1/500. By that I mean, half press the shutter. Read the numbers on the bottom of the viewfinder and adjust accordingly. Cheers, Don [/QUOTE]
