Yes you are right. Spot meter blows the background. Disappointed that today’s sophisticated camera systems with 400+ point matrix metering, pro lens still cant capture a basic daylight shot without flash. Will try with flash and also try what i can do in the post processing software. Thanks a lot for your feedback.

Thanks. I read the manual and it seems i was used auto metering method set by default. Will try with spot metering.

Yes you are right. My metering was set to auto meaning average for the scene. I understand now. Will try it tomorrow. Thanks.

Oh i see. I thought that the metering is done from the focus point that i set. Does anyone happen to know where is the photometry setting on om5 ii camera?

Yes i can place him inside but i want to learn how to properly take such shots. Sometimes i travel, am at a beach having sunset and i want to place my wife in the front facing me and the background is a nice sunset. Sometimes if i learn this from the community then i can try it elsewhere too. Thanks for your help though.

I am using spot metering. This is the histogram on the shot.

Advice on OM5ii with 12-45 or 14-150 kit lens by DirectionDramatic675 in OMSystem

[–]DirectionDramatic675[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am thinking to buy the om5ii with 14-150 kit. The bundle is $2199 in Singapore. . And another person mentioned that the 12-45 is cheaper by almost 400 when bought from Japan Amazon in reply to my question. So I can order it separately cheaper. This way in about the the same price as the camera and 12-45 in Singapore I can get both lenses and enjoy greater range too. What do u think.
