Uhooru Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 <p>I would try setting the exposure meter to spot. You can still use autofocus. you may have to pick your spot and recompose while locked on. Worth a try. Practice at home.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrybc Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 <p>Barry, she was using spot. I think that was the cause of her problem because the spot wasn't on the tonal value she was interested in (ie: the dancers). Spot + manual exposure would've been a good idea.</p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill_tuthill Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 <p>Good diagnosis, Larry. In the best shots, SPOT is on the dancers, whereas in the overexposed shots, SPOT is on the blue backdrop. I can't explain the underexposed shots, however.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
