Well, considering that the first shot of a series is the one that's usually off, perhaps it is learning from the first shot. I'll start taking one just for that reason and see what happens. Today was a sunny day so I tried using manual mode. It made me very busy trying to keep track of the metering, but if I checked each scene I could get what I wanted this way. Eventually I fell back to Av mode. I agree about the marketing BS, which is why I was wondering just exactly what the hell evaluative metering actually is...
