Ok, image of cormorant on a post in the water. The cormorant was well focused in all three images, but one, the first image was 2 stops underexposed. I had the focus sensor in the upper part where the bird was, it remained on the bird although background shifted slightly in the 2 seconds between each exposure. Now, the background is a pattern of post and much lighter water, so shifting in the centre portion, even if slight could make big changes in metering, but I would have thought not so much in eval metering, which was my point here. Is it really a fancy name for centre-weighted deluxe?
