[QUOTE="Revet, post: 316107, member: 17612"] I guess the bottom line is that when I take a photo, the LCD display is just not large enough or it is too sunny out for me to tell how the exposure is. The histogram helps but sometimes the better photos are pushed to the right or left. It is always easy to correct in Lightroom and I can do it globally if a took a lot of shots. I understand what everyone has brought to light (no pun intended!!!) but I can tell you this, if I shoot in manual and I use matrix, 90 % of my shots (indoors without flash and outdoors in all conditions) are pushed to the left on the histogram. Searching on Google, it seems to happen to many other people too. I will see what my new D7100 does when I get it. I did shoot some more photo's using center weighted and it does appear to get the exposure right more often than matrix. I wonder why I even started this post since I like non-human subject pictures slightly under-exposed anyway (the color's appear more appealing to my eye). I guess I just like things to work how they should 100% of the time!! A major character defect of mine that I recognize and work on every day!! [/QUOTE]
