[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 366260, member: 9240"] Plenty of things you can do when you "disagree" with the camera. 1. Switch metering modes. If you're in Matrix go to Spot Metering, which will meter for your subject and not the entire frame. 2. Use Exposure Compensation. If you want it darker than the camera wants to make it then dial the Exposure Compensation down. I've had situations where I live at -1 or -1.3EV because it's blowing out my highlights with a subject in the shadows. 3. Bracket your shots. If you've got a difficult lighting situation put the camera in CH mode and set the bracketing for 2 shots with the second shot being either darker or lighter by an appropriate amount so you have two to choose from. 4. Screw the meter, use it only as a suggestion and shoot in Manual. Who's the boss of whom, right? Take control of that thing. [/QUOTE]
