Probably not. If you're using multi-point metering, the camera is probably going to try to avoid blowing those areas out, and thus you get a shadow-heavy histogram. Which is not a bad thing, if youreally did want to avoid blowing those spots, but not a good thing if you did mean to blow them.
Try setting for center-weighted or spot metering, zero exposure compensation, and manually meter on something that should be mid-gray. Now you should get exactly what you expect. |
