I expose for the skin tone and don´t worry about the blownout highlights (in this case), but I was working with a 50mm and that´s where my complaints about the Matrix come from. It´s unpredictability may have to do with me not being that experienced, of course. I do however have that issue (already did with the 3100) mostly when shooting with primes - I move around more - and not as much when using the 24-85. Maybe has to do with how the light hits the lens. I did a meter reading (close-up) on her face, kept the settings - didn´t lock it though - stepped back and it did come out slightly different. In another shot (of my wife and baby girl, roughly in the same position) I was shooting from their right and it looked great. When I moved to their left - same settings - the shot came out much darker (this last shot the window light was hitting their faces even more... So, very inconsistent... I do use off camera flash (I really want an Ice Light!!! Is it really as good as it seems? My guess is, even better... <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />), but didn´t have it with me that day - yes my fault - and I am quite pleased by the (faint) window light coming from camera right...</p></blockquote><p></p>
