Nooooo I've done this right a 1000 times. And the strategy for a (too) bright sky sky IS the same as for a backlit scenry. And - so why does the *ist D do the exact scenery right (not over compensating)? Regards Jens Bladt Nytarkort / Greeting Card: http://www.jensbladt.dk/godtnytaar2007/lydshow.html

This is what we call subject failure in the industry. I think you will find the meter is behaving normally, and that you will need to adjust your metering strategy for this scene type.
