[QUOTE="nickt, post: 645961, member: 4923"] Ok, that sounds like a difficult to meter scene. That won't necessarily change moving off of the auto modes to the semi-auto modes. You could go with the lighter background. Or you could try changing your metering mode to center weighted or spot. This will adjust the exposure more for what is going on in the center of the scene. Matrix metering tries to take the whole scene into account and come what it THINKS you want. That could leave a dark object on a light background underexposed. Same for a light object on a dark background, that could over expose the light object. Another approach to this problem would be to dial in a little positive exposure compensation. Or, when you are ready, shoot manual. Different paths to the same end. If you mess with metering modes or exp comp, don't forget to put them back. We've all made that mistake. [/QUOTE]
