Hi Cory, Weird that most of them were over underexposed, did you accidently have it set to spot metering? as the mutlsegment metering is usually quite good on MZ5n's.
Was it a tricky lighting situation? as i shot a bit with that camera in pubs, using the flashing %50 of the time and the exposure was pretty spot on for most of them (using multisegment meteting).
